We understand
We know it's rarely just about the house.
Many of the homes we see have been left for a reason. A much loved parent or grandparent lived there for decades. The family can't agree on what to do. Nobody has the time, the money or the know how to take on a big refurbishment. Sometimes it's simply too painful to deal with.
That's completely understandable.
But at the end of the day, a house is bricks and mortar, and an empty house doesn't stand still. Every winter the damp gets in a little further, the roof gets a little worse and the value drops a little more. We've seen homes that were virtually falling down by the time anyone acted.
The problem with selling as is
Why run down houses sell for less than they should
When a property is in poor condition, most buyers can't get a mortgage on it, and most families looking for a home won't consider it. That shrinks your market down to builders, developers and cash investors. They're running a business, so their offers are built around their profit, and they often come in well below what you'd hope for.
- Often unmortgageable, so most buyers are ruled out
- Little appeal to families and first time buyers
- Only investors left, and their offers reflect that
The average person in the UK moves home only around six times in their whole life.Most people simply don't have the experience to know there's another option, and most high street estate agents don't offer one.
How we help
A better way: we partner with you
Instead of selling cheap to an investor, we work alongside you. We sit down together, scope the work, and run the numbers so you can see exactly what's possible.
We invest in the refurbishment, bring the property back to life, and it's sold on the open market to the widest possible pool of buyers. You then share in the result at the end.
Everything is set out in a proper legal agreement, completely above board, and we always encourage you to take your own independent legal advice.

Why Delta Group
Property is a people business.
We've spent over 30 years in property as landlords, investors and operators. We've been through the mill, we know the trades, and we don't like seeing people get taken advantage of just because they haven't been through this before.
We'd rather build a fair deal and a long relationship based on honesty and trust.
