Sell with the cracks. No engineer report needed. — in Portsmouth.
Movement, subsidence, cracking, damp — mortgage lenders see these as red flags. A structural engineer's report is £1,500-3,000 and lenders still might decline. We have buyers who underwrite structural risk themselves. Specifically for Portsmouth and the surrounding Hampshire area.

- You describe the issue (or share the report if you have one).
- We match to buyers who specifically acquire structurally-impaired properties.
- Completion in 6-10 weeks. No lender involvement on the buy side.
What we'll need from you
- The full address
- Description of the structural issue (or the engineer's report if you have one)
- Whether the property is currently habitable
What we sidestep (and the standard alternatives)
- Spending £2,000 on an engineer's report that won't unlock a high-street mortgage anyway
- An estate agent who'll bury the issue in the listing and trigger buyer claims later
- Demolition-value offers that ignore the underlying land value
