Many people experience reduced mobility through ill health, age or accidents. When this happens, everyday architecture and measurements such as upstairs toilets, door steps, the height of fixtures & fittings or the width of doorways can become unmanageable issues.
Homes Bought Fast are prepared to help people in circumstances such as yourself.
Home Alterations
Many people prefer to modify their own houses rather than move to specially adapted or supported housing. Although building grants may be available, especially in cases of ill health and accidents (check with your local council), many cases are not supported.
Raising cash by downsizing to pay for privately funded adaptations, can be an option but it does involve moving home and considerable moving related inconvenience/expense.
Alternatively, you may be able to pay for essential adaptations with cash raised by selling your house to Home Bought Fast. Adapt the house, stop the struggle and keep your home by renting it back for as long as you want.
Downsize or Move to Modified property
Privately modified property (usually bungalows) occassionally appear on the open market but their rarity makes them highly desirable. If requested, most estate agents will notify potential buyers of all appropriate new instructions.
When you are ready to make an offer Homes Bought Fast can offer you a quick sale rather than you risk losing a sale due to delays caused by housing chains.
Domestic Help
Sometimes, limitations on mobility or degenerative conditions make people become dependent on support for household chores, like cooking, shopping and gardening or frightened by vulnerability (real or otherwise). Local Social Service Agencies will normally evaluate individuals for support and advise on help however, not all people will qualify for financial assistance.
In these situations, to maximise quality of life and minimise struggle without moving, people may want to consider releasing the value of their property to fund regular domestic help in their own homes with our Sell & Rent Back option.
Semi-Independent Living
Dramatic changes in circumstances can occur very quickly; requiring urgent solutions. While respite care may provide a welcome emergency solution following ill health or an accident, the length of stay is generally very restricted so alternative arrangements often need to be made as fast as possible.
A popular solution is to move the dependent person into a purpose built, self contained annex with friends or family close by using the sale of one property to fund new builds or alterations on the other.
Homes Bought Fast can provide a quick sale AND fast completion, releasing cash within 6-8 weeks.
I was very sorry to sell my house as I have a disabled son and my 87 year old mother lives with me and could not upset them by moving, but I came off work so could not afford the mortgage. Homes Bought Fast made me feel very secure that we will not have to move out. I can afford the rent and I have money left at the
end of the month.

We are not authorised to undertake regulated Sale and Rent Back activities but the regulated firm that we introduce you to should be able to offer a suitable sale and rent back solution, if that is the right option for you.
