Question 1

What types of properties do you buy?

Accepted Answer

We buy houses, townhouses, units, apartments, rental properties, inherited estates, damaged homes, and bare sections. If it's a residential property in Christchurch — or anywhere in New Zealand — it's worth talking to us.

Question 2

Do I need to clean or repair anything first?

Accepted Answer

No. We buy properties in as-is, where-is condition. You don't need to paint, patch, tidy, or clear anything out. That's the whole point.

Question 3

Do I have to use a real estate agent?

Accepted Answer

No. We buy directly from you, which means no listing agreement, no commission, and no open homes. Your only professional cost is your own solicitor.

Question 4

How quickly can you make an offer?

Accepted Answer

We aim to send a written, no-obligation offer within 48 hours of receiving your property details. Sometimes faster.

Question 5

How quickly can settlement happen?

Accepted Answer

Settlement can happen in as little as 10 working days once your solicitor has reviewed the contract. We move at the pace that suits you.

Question 6

Can I choose a later settlement date?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose 30 days, 90 days, or six months out — whatever gives you the space you need to plan your next move.

Question 7

Do I need to meet in person?

Accepted Answer

Not unless you want to. Most sellers prefer to handle everything by phone, email, or text. We can visit the property without needing you there.

Question 8

Can I leave belongings behind?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Take what you want and leave the rest. We handle the clear-out — it's often the biggest relief for people selling an estate or a rental.

Question 9

Is there any obligation to accept the offer?

Accepted Answer

None at all. The assessment and offer are completely free. If the number doesn't work for you, walk away with no cost, no pressure, and no follow-up sales calls.

Question 10

Can my lawyer review the contract first?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — we recommend it. We can also add a solicitor approval clause so the sale doesn't become unconditional until your lawyer is comfortable with every detail.
