How we buy 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 visit the property to assess its condition and location, before sharing a fair and final offer. We don’t use surveyors but rely on our internal valuation team – unlike other quick sale companies that often use surveyor reports as leverage for drastically lowering offers.

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. Many often use surveyor reports as their reason for doing so. We do not gazunder – that is, we guarantee we will not lower our final offer.

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
Sold house super quick, Declan was friendly, professional and great to work with. Would recommend.

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.

Will you really exchange contracts within 24 hours, even if I’m selling a house with subsidence?

Yes. We can exchange contracts within 24 hours, even when selling a house with subsidence. Our Fast-Track Exchange Service allows you to secure your sale with just a £1,000 deposit. What we require is for your solicitor to provide us with a complete seller’s pack (including property information forms, title details, and AML/KYC checks). With that, we can exchange contracts as quickly as the same day. Once contracts are exchanged, the sale becomes legally binding, and you can choose when to complete. Because we work directly with the UK’s fastest house buyers and not through mortgages, subsidence doesn’t slow us down.

Can your offer change after the initial valuation?

Possibly – but only in your favour. If our specialist contractor visits and identifies ways to reduce the cost of required works, we can increase our offer. This gives you the chance to achieve a higher price than a standard ‘as-is’ cash sale, while still avoiding the hassle and risk of carrying out subsidence repairs yourself. Unlike many quick-sale companies, we guarantee we will not lower our final offer.

Do I need to carry out repairs to resolve the subsidence before selling?

No. You don’t need to fix a thing. We buy houses with subsidence exactly as they are, whether or not a structural report has been completed. Repairs like underpinning can cost tens of thousands and delay a sale for months. With Instant Home Offers, you can skip that stress. We’ll buy your property in its current condition, handle all legal work, and complete on a timeline that suits you.

How do you handle the legal process?

We make the legal process simple and completely hands-off for you. Once you accept our offer, we cover all solicitor fees and work exclusively with SRA-accredited solicitors who specialise in selling properties with subsidence. They’ll manage the conveyancing, contracts, and compliance checks (AML, KYC) while keeping you updated throughout. You’ll have a dedicated account manager to ensure your sale progresses quickly and smoothly – right through to completion.
