Relationship Breakdown

Your relationship has ended — and a shared damaged property is holding everything up.

A damaged home means most buyers can’t get finance. That turns a stressful situation into an indefinite one. We offer a clean exit: no open homes, no strangers walking through, an unconditional offer, and a settlement date you choose.

We make it straightforward:

No open homes — complete discretion throughout

Unconditional offer — no finance or building clauses to fall over

One person to deal with, not a real estate agency

Flexible settlement date agreed between all parties

We understand exactly where you are

Sometimes you just need a clean break.

When a relationship ends, a shared home becomes a shared problem — and a damaged one is even harder to resolve. Because standard buyers need mortgage finance, and banks won’t lend on an uninsured damaged property, a traditional agent listing is often a dead end. Open homes mean strangers walking through at an already raw time, and conditional sales can drag on for months with no certainty.

Neither party wants to invest more money, time, or emotion into a property they are leaving. My New Start offers something the traditional market cannot: an unconditional offer, no open homes, no agent involvement, and a clean exit for both parties.
