Our process for selling property with subsidence

Subsidence makes the traditional house sale process complicated. Either buyers back out at the sight of cracks or lenders are reluctant to offer a mortgage. If your sale has fallen through or you’ve been told your property is ‘unsellable’ – we can still help.

We offer two solutions. The first solution is that we buy directly from you – in other words, you sell for cash to us. There are no mortgages, no surveys, no chains. Most importantly, we’ll buy your property exactly as it is, with or without a structural report. The second solution is we sell by auction for free.

Step 1

Get in touch

Complete our form or contact us at 0204 578 2156. We’ll ask you to share some key details about the property which we’ll send to our valuation team.

We guarantee we’ll offer on any house with subsidence – no matter the severity.

Step 2

Get a free cash offer

We’ll share a free, no-obligation offer-in-principle within 24 hours. Typically, this is 20% under market value. (Beware cash buyers that offer higher, as their offers are often too good to be true.) If you accept, we’ll instruct an independent RICS qualified surveyor to assess the condition and location of your property, and we’ll give you a fair and final offer.

We guarantee we will not slash or lower our final offer.

Step 3

Set the schedule

We’ll assign a dedicated progression manager to you to provide you with regular updates. We’ll also cover all solicitor fees, and we can help you choose the right SRA-accredited solicitor. You don’t need to worry about carrying out costly repairs to your property with subsidence. All you need to do is let us know when you want to exchange and complete. If you are keen on a quick sale, you can exchange in 24 hours and receive payment in 7 days.

No repairs required. You don’t need to fix a thing.

An alternative option

Sell by auction

We have experience selling a house with subsidence at auction. With us, you can auction your property free (unlike others who charge a 2% commission). You have the choice of an accelerated timeline of 2 weeks, and you can set the reserve price and deadlines. With our auction services, you can reach a wider audience and get closer to market value.

We guarantee the auction winner will be legally bound to exchange.

Why choose Instant Home Offers to sell a house with subsidence?

We know how frustrating – and upsetting – it is to have your house listed for months with no serious offers, or worse, to have deals fall through at the survey stage with subsidence or structural issues the clear cause. With us, there’s no waiting, no fixing, no risk of the chain breaking.

We also know we’re not the only quick sale company out there. What sets us apart is our word. Most quick sale companies make attractive offers – sometimes close to or above market value – which they drastically drop just before exchange when you have already made arrangements and least expect to be low-balled. We do not gazunder – that is, we guarantee we will not lower our final offer.

As members of the National Association of Property Buyers, we’re registered with The Property Ombudsman and
Trading Standards, and follow a strict Code of Practice to treat our sellers fairly and with dignity.

Diana Andrade Rosero
Bought my house in under a week. You guys were there when I needed you most, cannot recommend more highly! Thank you! Xx
Michele Crispin
Declan was excellent with my house sale and got it sold in a week. Very understanding of my needs. Would definitely use them again and would recommend them.
Tina Wilkinson
Declan and team worked tirelessly to find a buyer for our unique house. He was committed to meeting our very short timeframe to help us move back to the US – although our destination changed. Found an amazing buyer who understood our needs and we completed in 3 weeks! Declan has a trusted and trustworthy group of buyers he works with. A good network and commitment is hard to find. This was a perfect transaction.
Chantelle Seaman

Frequently Asked Questions


Can I sell a house with subsidence?

Yes. You can sell a house with subsidence, but it can be difficult on the open market. Most buyers are put off by structural issues or mortgage restrictions. We guarantee an offer on your property, regardless of condition. You don’t have to fix the issue before selling either. With us, you can also choose to sell your house with subsidence at auction for free (unlike others who will charge up to 2% commission).

Can I sell a house with structural movement?

Yes, you can still sell a house with signs of structural movement. Cracks in walls, sloping floors, or sticking doors often scare away traditional buyers, but they don’t have to stop a sale. At Instant Home Offers, we work with experienced cash buyers who understand the risks and can complete quickly, regardless of the property’s condition. You won’t need to carry out repairs, provide guarantees, or wait for lender approval.

Can I sell a house with historic subsidence?

If your home has previously suffered from subsidence but has since been underpinned or stabilised, it’s still possible to sell – though many buyers may hesitate. Historic subsidence, even when resolved, can still affect property value and raise red flags on surveys. Our team specialises in purchasing homes with a history of subsidence and can make a fast, fair offer without delay or judgement.
