Broken Property Chain In Hertfordshire - Need A Fast Sale?

If you have experienced a broken chain in your property sale - we can help!

Hertfordshire Home Buyers Provide a Prompt and Professional Service

When you are selling your property and have a chain of  buyers, it is often possible for the chain to get broken, through circumstances beyond your control. According to statistics almost a third of house sales every month fall through down to property chains breaking.

There may be many reasons why a property chain gets broken, and the vendor may never find out why the other party pulled their offer. At the other end of the spectrum it is also possible for a transaction to last up to 18 months before it can complete. Either of these circumstances can be extremely frustrating and can cause significant delays in the completion of the sale of your home. 

Hertfordshire Home Buyers are a cash buyer and we specialise in transacting quickly, meaning that you can have peace of mind that the sale of your home will not be disrupted by a broken property chain in Hertfordshire.

An overview of what a property chain is and how the chain can break

Understanding Property Chains

A property chain is a series of property sales, each of which are reliant on each other transacting. Normally the transactions all need to complete on the same day.

If your property chain in Hertfordshire has broken, we can help. Get in touch with our team today.​

Vendor 1, sells his or her house to buyer 1 (vendor 2).
Vendor 2 sells his or her house to buyer 2 (vendor 3).
Vendor 3 sells his or her house to buyer 3 (cash buyer).

If the buy for vendor 3 decides it is taking too long and pulls out of the transaction, this will impact not only vendor 3, but also vendor 2 as they will not be able to complete without selling their property.

This is a simple example of how a property chain is built.

Next we will discuss some of things that can go wrong in a property chain:

Cash buyer can pull out – the cash buyer may get cold feet and move on to another property.

Funding – funding may be withdrawn for one party in the chain. Again this will have an impact on the whole chain, unless the party is able to source alternative finance for their transaction.

Death – someone in the chain may die. This may seem extreme, but it does happen from time to time, in which case the property will go into probate, which may then take many months before it is available to complete.

Health issues – if someone is diagnosed with a serious illness, their circumstances may mean that they no longer wish to move house.

Change of circumstances – Is one of the parties is to lose their job, or alternatively have a family emergency in another country this can lead to a withdrawal either as a vendor or as a buyer.

Gazumped – someone in the chain may be outbid on a property, meaning that they no longer have a property to buy.

We work closely with our clients to deliver the right solution, and most importantly we deliver!​

We understand that selling a property can be extremely stressful, and when a sale has fallen through then this can compound that stress. Hertfordshire Home Buyers offer a fast solution to our customers.

I became and accidental Landlord following my mothers passing. I quickly learned that it can be very stressful very quickly. I decided to sell and contacted a few buyers, but Hertfordshire Home Buyers gave me a good price and in the timescale I wanted. Accepted and was complete only 20 days later.

I got offered an amazing opportunity in Dubai through my company. We arranged a new property over there, got ours on the market, sold it and then the sale fell through and we lost our buyer. We needed a cash buyer quick and this lot saved the day! Thanks again for the super quick help. We are all settling in nicely in our new home.
