Selling a property to cover care home fees

Selling a property to cover care home fees can be time consuming and stressful and it’s difficult to know whether you are doing the right thing. With rental returns often not enough to meet the gap between care costs and other income, and with Local Authority Deferred Loans now being interest-bearing and with initial set up fees, selling is usually the preferred choice. Then comes the issue of which estate agent to use!

Eldercare Property Partners ensure that you maximise the sale price by marketing the property using the right strategy, the right estate agent and the right price from outset. You pay us instead of the estate agent and everything is taken care of for you, from property valuation through to property clearance and final meter readings. The service is offered throughout most of the UK.

I really appreciated the speedy responses given by Eldercare Property Partners both by telephone and in writing. Our Adviser was very patient explaining the ins and outs of the process. Not having to deal with everything ourselves meant that all the hassle of selling a property was taken off our shoulders.

Eldercare Property Partners were able to lift a very large amount of the burden of the house sale from me – buffering me to a large extent from the business of finding and dealing with estate agents and solicitors, which I just did not have the time for.

Mr W Simmonds

Many thanks for all you have done as it has made things way less stressful and much easier all round having you organise Bertha’s property sale, especially with me being in New Zealand. For me I could never have done the whole thing from over here and neither could Bertha. Thank you.
