Stage one: hand over the address
The opening move is small: the address of the dwelling, plus a sentence or two about its condition and the date you are aiming at. No photographs are demanded, no rooms need staging, and nobody calls round before you invite them.
Send it through the form on this site, by phone, or by email. A person then tests the street against the districts where builders are buying and comes back to you, rather than leaving you to chase an answer.
Stage two: the figure, with its sums visible
Pricing starts where a builder would start: with prices lately achieved by new houses on comparable plots in the surrounding streets. Build outlay, the expense of carrying the project, and the return a builder requires are taken off that ceiling in turn.
The figure reaches you in writing with the workings riding alongside it. Question any line of the arithmetic and the reply answers from the sales record of those streets, in numbers, not in adjectives.
Stage three: pick the completion date
Households in a hurry can aim at completion inside 7 to 21 days. Households whose next move needs longer simply name a later date, and a brief stay after completion can be talked through where the onward home is running behind.
Whichever date is settled on is written into the agreement at the start, so removals, school terms and onward purchases can be planned against something fixed.
Stage four: completion, quietly handled
A title company or an attorney runs the formal side, following the custom of the state the dwelling stands in. Your share of the work is signatures and decisions; the chasing of documents belongs to the firm.
Because the sale was never advertised, there are no viewings to arrange and no chain of strangers to keep informed. The completion statement is built on the amount agreed, with no agent percentage and no seller side charges from the firm deducted from it.
