You’ve done the research. Now you need someone you can trust with Mum and Dad.
Many older Cantabrians have been living around a damaged property for years — they found the EQC process bewildering, the insurance company exhausting, and quietly hoped it would sort itself out. For a lot of them, the idea of selling feels complicated, risky, or just too hard to start. So they haven’t.
You can see the toll it’s taking. The good news is that this is one of the most common situations we deal with. Kane or Ronan will meet with your parents directly, take as much time as they need, explain everything clearly, and never pressure them into anything. You’re welcome to be there too — most families are. We’ve done this hundreds of times and we know how to make it feel straightforward, even when it hasn’t been.

“Leaving our home was a bittersweet experience — he seemed to understand this and was sensitive to that fact. Kane supported us through the whole process. We had a more than generous settlement timeframe that removed the pressure. We would highly recommend Kane — he is one of the genuine good guys, honest and reliable.”
