Can You Sell a House That Has Structural Damage?
What Counts as Structural Damage?
Structural damage includes issues such as subsidence, cracked foundations, failing roof structures, collapsed ceilings, or major wall instability. These problems are serious — and they make it almost impossible to sell through traditional channels, because most mortgage lenders will refuse to lend on a structurally compromised property.
The Problem with the Open Market
When a surveyor identifies structural issues, buyers relying on mortgages typically withdraw their offer immediately. Even cash buyers on the open market may be put off, or will make very low offers knowing they're your only realistic option.
Selling as a Distressed Property
UK House Buyers specialises in distressed property solutions — including properties with significant structural damage. We assess properties on their individual merits and make fair, transparent cash offers regardless of condition.
Our service is designed for exactly these situations. There's no need to carry out repairs, clear the property, or commission your own structural surveys before approaching us. We handle everything.
