Financial Pressure

We understand exactly where you are

Every month it sits unsold is money you’re losing.

Some homeowners have already moved on — into a new build, a rental, or a family member’s home — but the damaged property sits unsold and still costing money every month. Taking it to market through a real estate agent rarely works: damaged properties can’t be insured, meaning standard buyers can’t get bank finance, which eliminates most of the buyer pool.

The remaining cash buyers and investors will use the damage to negotiate hard. My New Start makes an offer based on a genuine assessment of the property. For homeowners carrying costs month after month, the certainty of an unconditional offer is far more valuable than an open-ended wait.

Accept and settle

No agent fees, no hidden costs, no last-minute changes. The price we offer is the price you receive — on the settlement date you choose.

“We weren’t looking forward to the open homes and agent fees but with our new build underway we couldn’t put it off any longer. Within days of making contact we had a fair and unconditional offer. The generous settlement date was really helpful as we had a few delays with our build. The whole process was seamless.”
