Selling the House to Fund Care Fees?
Our homes have always been seen as our castles, they are not just a place of shelter, but also places containing a lifetime of memories, and the prospect of selling can never be an easy decision.
Unfortunately, there are occasions, especially when the decision to move on a permanent basis into a care home has been made, that selling the property to fund the associated care fees is the only option. Whilst it is a time fraught with emotion and memories, the decision to sell is probably the right one.
But, at such a difficult time, whom do you trust to sell your property for you?
It may surprise you to know that companies do exist that are dedicated to the needs of elderly homeowners moving into care. These specialist companies can provide a simple tailored service to fit your needs exactly. They fully understand and appreciate all the emotions associated with selling a home at such a stressful and emotional time.
Symponia and its members work with Bridgefast Property Services.
A pioneering company designed to help you through the whole sale process; from managing Estate Agents and Solicitors, to arranging the completion of Home Information Packs (HIPs) and of course, negotiating “proceedable” offers on your behalf.
They can arrange for removals, house clearance, maintenance and insurance of the property if and when it becomes vacant.
A further benefit is that they can also advance funds to pay for the immediate and on-going cost of care, even before the property is sold. This funding facility, plus the fact that there are no upfront fees to pay until the property is sold, can be of real help and comfort to those moving into care and their families.
