Introduction

If you want to sell your house without repairs, you are not alone. Many London homeowners feel overwhelmed by the idea of fixing every issue before putting their property on the market. Whether your house is outdated, damaged, or simply in need of refurbishment, London Homebuyer Group offers a simple way to sell without stress or extra costs.

In this article, we explain how to sell your house without repairs, your options in London, and how working with a trusted cash homebuyer can save time and money.

Why Sell Without Repairs?

There are many reasons why homeowners choose to sell without repairs:

• Lack of funds to carry out renovations

• Urgent need to relocate for work or family

• Financial pressures, debt, or repossession risk

• Property is inherited and in poor condition

• Selling as part of a portfolio disposal

Investing in repairs can cost more than the increase in property value. In some cases, it delays the sale and adds stress. Read our article on selling a house to avoid repossession if financial pressures are forcing a quick decision.

What Counts as a House Needing Repairs?

A house that needs repairs might have:

• Outdated kitchens and bathrooms

• Structural issues or subsidence

• Damp or mould problems

• Leaking roofs or damaged windows

• Electrical or plumbing faults

• General neglect or unmodernised interiors

These issues can deter buyers who want a move-in-ready property. Mortgage lenders may also refuse to lend on homes with significant defects, narrowing your buyer pool to cash buyers only.

Your Selling Options in London

1. Traditional Estate Agent Sale

Selling through an estate agent is possible, but buyers often reduce their offers when repairs are needed. The sale process can take months, and you continue to pay mortgage payments, bills, and council tax until completion.

2. Auction Sale

Auctions attract investors looking for renovation projects. However, preparing an auction listing still takes weeks, and there is no guarantee of a sale if the reserve price is not met. Fees can also be high.

3. Private Sale to an Investor

Some investors buy directly, but offers can vary, and legal processes remain your responsibility. Always check credentials before proceeding.

4. Quick Sale to a Cash Homebuyer

Selling directly to a cash buyer like London Homebuyer Group is the fastest and simplest way to sell your house without repairs. We buy properties in any condition, complete quickly, and cover legal fees.

Preparing Your House for a No-Repairs Sale

One of the biggest advantages of choosing to sell your house without repairs is that preparation is minimal. However, there are still small steps you can take to make the process smoother:

• Gather paperwork. Ensure you have documents such as title deeds, EPC certificates if available, and identification for compliance checks.

• Notify tenants if applicable. If your house is tenanted, letting them know you plan to sell helps avoid confusion during viewings or surveys.

• Remove personal items you wish to keep. While full clearance is not required, take out belongings that matter to you before completion.

At London Homebuyer Group, we handle all other aspects of the sale, including solicitor coordination and valuation arrangements. Read more about selling tenanted property if you are a landlord considering your options.

How Does the Offer Process Work?

When you contact us for a cash offer, we follow a clear process:

1. Initial call or online form. You tell us about your property’s location, condition, and reason for selling.

2. Cash offer provided. We make an offer based on current market data and property condition.

3. Free RICS survey arranged. If you accept, we will book a survey at your convenience.

4. Sale completion. Solicitors finalise paperwork, and funds are transferred to you on your chosen completion date.

We cover all legal fees and survey costs. There are no hidden charges or upfront payments at any stage.

What Types of Properties Do We Buy?

We buy all types of residential property in London and the surrounding areas, including:

• Detached and semi-detached houses

• Terraced houses

• Flats and maisonettes

• Ex-council properties

• Houses with structural issues or damp

• Houses in probate or with complex legal titles

If you own a property that other buyers are rejecting due to condition, we can provide a quick, certain solution.

Can You Sell a Tenanted House Without Repairs?

If you own a rental property that needs repairs, you might worry about selling with tenants in place. Many landlords face this problem when their buy-to-let portfolio becomes unmanageable or when properties become vacant and fall into disrepair.

We buy tenanted houses in any condition. Whether tenants have caused damage or the property has simply aged, we can make you a fair offer without requiring vacant possession. Read our page on selling a rental property for further details.
