Your property has a problem.
We have the answer.

The price depends on the type of problem and on the legal status of the property. For a property with a clear legal title and no major defects we usually offer a high percentage of its market value. For a share in co-ownership it is usually around half of the nominal value of the share, depending on the number of co-owners and on whether you actually have access to the property. Where a property comes with an occupant or is encumbered with an easement or a life estate, the price also depends on how long that situation may last. We price every case individually, only after looking at the specific circumstances.

We value by comparison: we check the prices of similar properties sold recently in the same area, take into account the floor area, the physical condition and any legal encumbrances, and then propose a specific figure. For an initial valuation we only need photographs of the property, the land and mortgage register number and a short description of the situation. The whole valuation is free and non-binding — you pay nothing to find out what we can offer.

We usually present an initial valuation within 24 hours of receiving the basic information, sometimes sooner. The process up to signing the notarial deed takes from a few days to a few weeks, depending on how complex the case is — for example whether certificates have to be obtained from creditors or inheritance matters settled. We pay out the money on the day the notarial deed is signed.

Yes, this is one of our main specialisations. If a property carries debt owed to a bank, a debt fund, a housing cooperative or a homeowners' association, we first establish the exact amount owed to every creditor, and then pay them directly out of the sale price, on the day of the transaction. Only the remaining amount goes to your account.

Yes — as a rule the law does not require the consent of the other co-owners to sell your share (with a few special exceptions, such as agricultural land). We buy shares in co-ownership regardless of whether your relations with the other co-owners are good, whether there is a dispute between you, and even if proceedings to dissolve the co-ownership are already before the court.

Usually yes, as long as the auction has not actually taken place. Selling the property on your own initiative, before it goes to auction, almost always achieves a higher price than a sale through enforcement, where the opening price can be as low as two thirds of the appraised value. Contact us as soon as you can — in cases like this, time is decisive.

Yes. Whether it is a tenant in arrears with the rent or a person occupying the premises unlawfully — a squatter — we buy the property and handle everything that follows ourselves, after the purchase.

Yes, that is one of the typical cases we work with. Banks and ordinary buyers avoid such properties, because they cannot be financed with a mortgage, and sometimes the transaction itself can only go ahead once the legal title has been put in order. We understand how this works and we are prepared to carry the case through that stage as well.

Yes. In such cases the price depends above all on the nature of the easement or life estate and on the age of the person entitled, because that determines how long the property will in fact remain restricted in use. We price every such case individually.

That depends on the stage of the proceedings. Once bankruptcy has been declared, the trustee takes over the administration of the estate, including the property, and it is the trustee who decides on its sale — although you may propose a specific buyer and terms for approval. Selling the property before filing the bankruptcy petition is possible, but it must be done at market value; otherwise creditors may later challenge the transaction as made to their detriment. In that situation it is worth consulting a lawyer or a restructuring adviser as well.

No. We buy properties in whatever condition they are currently in, including ones needing a complete renovation, after a fire or flooding, or left unused for years. You do not have to clean, renovate or even remove the things left inside.

That depends on the particular situation: the type of property, its legal status and the problem affecting the sale. We always establish individually which documents we need and help to assemble them — under a power of attorney where necessary — so that we take on as much of the paperwork as possible.

The notarial costs and the tax on civil law transactions (PCC) are covered by our company. We also charge the seller no commission whatsoever. The price we agree is the amount you actually receive, reduced only by any debt repayments agreed in advance.

By bank transfer as standard, usually on the same day we sign the notarial deed, and by instant transfer where possible. We also accept settlement through a notarial escrow account if that is safer for both sides — for example where several creditors have to be paid at once.

We agree the date individually, depending on your situation — sometimes it is a few days, sometimes a few weeks. We understand that moving takes time, and we try to set a schedule that is realistic.
