Relocation & Emigration

Relocating? Sell your home before you go.

New job, new country, new chapter. The last thing you need is a property sale dragging on while you’re settling in hundreds or thousands of miles away. We guarantee completion before your move date.

Sell remotely No fees Guaranteed completion date

Sell remotely

No need to be present for viewings, key handover, or completion. Many of our clients complete without setting foot in the UK.

Guaranteed completion date

We commit to your timeline in writing. If you need to complete before your departure date, we make it happen.

No chain risk

31% of UK sales collapse before completion. Ours don’t. Cash buyer, no mortgage, no chain — when we commit, we complete.

Why selling on the open market is risky when you’re relocating

When you have a fixed departure date, the traditional property market works against you.

The things people actually worry about

We’ve helped many families relocate with the sale completed before departure day. Here are the concerns that come up most often.

The fear

“I can’t manage a sale from abroad.”

The truth

You don’t have to. We handle everything remotely — RICS survey, legal paperwork, completion. Many of our clients complete without setting foot in the UK.

The fear

“What if the sale falls through after I’ve left?”

The truth

We’re a cash buyer. There’s no mortgage to be declined, no chain to collapse. When we commit, we complete.

The fear

“I’ll lose money selling quickly.”

The truth

After factoring in 5–6 months of empty property costs (council tax, insurance, security, deterioration) plus agent fees, many sellers are surprised how close our net figure is to the open market alternative.

The fear

“I need to sell and buy at the same time.”

The truth

Because we offer certainty on timing and price, you can plan your onward purchase with confidence. No more “subject to sale” contingencies.

The difference it makes

This is an illustrative example showing how the two routes typically play out when you’re relocating. Your numbers will be different, but the shape of it is almost always the same.

From first call to sale completed

A simple, four-step process designed to work around your departure date.

  1. Tell us your timeline

    Day 1 · 15 minutes

    Fill in the form or email us. Share the basics: property details, your departure date, and where you’re moving to. We’ll read it personally and reply by email with a plan that works around your schedule.

    You feel: heard, not processed. Someone understands the urgency.
  2. Indicative cash offer

    Within 72 hours

    We send an indicative cash offer by email, based on your postcode, property details and recent comparable sales. This gives you a clear figure to work with as you plan your move.

    You feel: clarity. A number on paper, so you can plan your onward move with confidence.
  3. RICS valuation & formal offer

    Day 5–8

    An independent RICS surveyor visits the property at our cost. We then issue a formal written cash offer confirming the final price and a guaranteed completion date that works with your departure schedule.

    You feel: in control. Price and date locked in writing. No last-minute changes.
  4. Exchange & completion

    Day 10–21

    Contracts exchange, funds transfer to your account, keys handed over on the agreed date. You can be present or handle everything remotely — either way, the sale is done before you leave.

    You feel: free. You leave the UK with the sale completed, funds cleared, no property left behind.

Answers to common questions

Can I complete the sale after I've moved abroad?

Yes. We handle the entire process remotely if needed. Legal documents can be signed via your solicitor or by post, and funds are transferred electronically. You don’t need to be in the UK for any part of the process.

Do you buy properties with tenants?

Yes. If you have tenants in the property, we can buy it with the tenancy in place. You don’t need to serve notice or wait for them to leave. We take on the tenancy and manage it from there.

What if I need to ship furniture from the property?

No problem. We can agree a completion date that gives you time to arrange shipping, or we can buy the property with contents included. Either way, we work around your schedule.

Can you handle the key handover?

Yes. Keys can be left with your solicitor, a neighbour, or posted to our office. We’ve handled hundreds of completions where the seller wasn’t physically present — it’s completely routine.

How quickly can you complete?

As fast as 14 days from accepting our offer, or longer if you need more time. We work to your departure date and put the guaranteed completion date in writing.

Do I need to be in the UK for any part of the process?

No. Every step — from the RICS survey to the legal paperwork to completion — can be handled without you being in the country. We regularly complete sales for clients who are already overseas.
