How quickly can you rescue a broken chain?

It depends on the property and the legal position, but we've completed purchases in as little as 2 weeks from first contact in straightforward chain-rescue situations.

I had a survey done for the previous buyer — can you use it?

We may be able to rely on existing survey information to speed up our assessment. Let us know what documents you have.

Will you offer the same price as my original buyer?

We make an independent assessment and our offer may differ from your original buyer's. We'll be transparent about our reasoning.

My solicitors have already done a lot of work — do I lose that?

Much of the legal work already done — title investigation, local searches — remains valid and can be passed to our solicitors, potentially speeding up completion.

No judgement • Confidential • Local
