Mrs A. Khan
Birmingham, B12
Facing repossession14
days to complete
The Situation
Mrs Khan had fallen into mortgage arrears following a period of illness and redundancy. Her lender had begun repossession proceedings and she had received a court date. She had tried selling through two estate agents over the previous eight months without success.
How We Helped
She contacted SimplySell on a Tuesday afternoon. By Thursday we had visited the property, confirmed our cash offer and she had instructed a solicitor. We exchanged contracts within 11 days — stopping the repossession in its tracks — and completed three days later.
Outcome
Repossession halted. Sale completed in 14 days. Mrs Khan was able to pay off her mortgage shortfall and secure rented accommodation without a CCJ on her record.
Mr & Mrs T. Morris
Manchester, M21
Chain collapsed three times22
days to complete
The Situation
The Morris family had been trying to sell their four-bedroom semi for over a year. Their sale had fallen through on three separate occasions — twice due to buyer mortgage issues and once when a buyer simply changed their mind — leaving them unable to proceed with the new-build they had reserved.
How We Helped
When their new-build developer gave them a final four-week deadline to exchange, they came to SimplySell. We agreed a cash offer the same day and, working alongside their existing solicitor, exchanged on their current property within 22 days.
Outcome
Chain broken permanently. The Morris family exchanged on their new-build the following week and moved in on schedule, avoiding a £15,000 reservation fee penalty.
