Close before you fly. — in Portsmouth.
You're leaving the UK — for work, family, or a new life. The property needs to be sold before you go, or managed from abroad (which is its own nightmare). We close the sale before your departure date, full stop. Specifically for Portsmouth and the surrounding Hampshire area.
How it works in Portsmouth
- You give us your target completion date — typically your flight or visa start date.
- We bring buyers who can hit that timeline, with completion before you leave.
- Funds release on completion. You receive them in your UK account or international transfer.
What we'll need from you
- Your target completion / departure date
- Whether you'll be present in the UK for signing (or need a Power of Attorney)
- The full address
What we sidestep (and the standard alternatives)
- An estate agent who says 'we'll get you a buyer' and then misses your flight
- Letting agents in your absence
- Tax residency concerns — we help with completion timing so you don't accidentally fall into UK tax residency
