NEED TO SELL YOUR HOUSE DUE TO HEALTH ISSUES?

Health problems can have a profound impact on homeowners when they’re no longer able to repair or maintain their homes. This could be due to a complex condition like dementia or someone dealing with multiple health issues. Unfortunately, when a home is not well-maintained due to poor health, problems like damp can exacerbate people’s conditions. If you need to sell your house due to health issues, there are options available.

CAN I SELL MY HOUSE IN BAD CONDITION?

When you’re suffering from ill health, it can be difficult to carry out or afford the necessary repairs to maintain your home. You don’t always have to bring a property up to a high standard before putting it up for sale. In some cases, a basic level of modernisation is enough to make a property attractive to buyers. However, you’ll need to weigh up the cost benefits of paying for work to be done, and how this will affect the overall property value.

If you don’t have the cash to hand, then usually you can still sell your home albeit for a lower price, especially if you need a quick sale. A full property modernisation or renovation can prove very costly and stressful when you’re battling ill health. A few minor fixes can be useful, but only prioritise repairs that are essential, e.g. issues that could become bigger problems.

At RJJ Developments, we often come across situations where someone’s home has fallen into disrepair due to health reasons. We know how stressful it can be when you own a property that needs attention, but you’re unable to carry out the necessary works. However, there are ways to sell your home quickly without involving an estate agent.

DO YOU NEED TO USE AN ESTATE AGENT TO SELL A HOUSE?

Firstly, there’s nothing wrong with feeling embarrassed about your situation or the condition of your home. Life can be very challenging, especially if you’re dealing with a serious health problem or you’re supporting a partner with complex needs.

You might not want to list your home with an estate agent because you don’t want people to see your home on Rightmove. Also, people often don’t want their neighbours to know that they’re selling. In some circumstances, it’s possible to sell without an estate agent.

There are other ways to sell your home. By selling without using an estate agent, you can also remove the cost of their fees, which can be helpful if you’re also struggling with debt.
