Spring has partnered with The Assisted Sale Company (TASC) to offer the Assisted Sale Service. This product is ideal for people who have a mortgage in place on their home. In an Assisted Sale, The Assisted Sale Company will guarantee a sale price and immediately on exchanging contracts pay you, in cash, a portion of the equity in your house. They then take over the mortgage and/or any other loans on your home with permission from your lender(s) and pay all your home’s bills while they market until it is sold. You can move onto your next home. Once they have sold the property, your mortgage will be paid in full and the sale will be completed.
In most cases this enables you to step away from the property with a cash lump sum without any more costs or stress.
Generally a TASC offer can be up to 5% more than our Home Buying Service offer.
Please note the Assisted Sale Service is not available in Scotland.The Assisted Sale Company are not a part of Spring, but are close and trusted partners who follow the same code of conduct, high standards and process that we do. If you choose the Assisted Sale product, they will handle your inquiry throughout the sale of your property.
Generally, a TASC offer will be about 5% more than our Home Buying Service offer. There are no additional legal or closing costs to pay.
TASC are able to pay you more in an Assisted Sale because they use your existing financing which is already in place instead of their own cash to purchase the property.
There are many but an Assisted Sale is ideal when you don’t need the proceeds from your sale for an onward purchase. This could be because you’re moving into a rental home, because it is an inherited property or a buy-to-let. If you can provide vacant possession and also wait to receive the full proceeds from your sale, an Assisted Sale will help you avoid the stress and hassle of a traditional sale.
Yes, they can, but typically it fits better for vendors with a mortgage ranging from 50% to 90% of the value of the property. The more cash TASC have to outlay, the lower the offer they can make you, so typically this is the range that works best.
If you don’t have a mortgage, TASC can still offer you an Assisted Sale by paying you up to 30% of the guaranteed sale price immediately and the balance once they sell the home.
Yes! Your dedicated Assisted Sale Company Property Advisor will inform your lender that they are making third party payments until the property is disposed of. This agreement will be in place before exchanging contracts and they would not risk proceeding without your lender’s agreement. The property is marketed for sale immediately. The Assisted Sale Company are property selling experts so your mortgage is repaid in full once they sell your home.
That’s an issue for The Assisted Sale Company (TASC) to deal with, not for you to deal with. TASC are contractually obliged to sell the property and make payments. If the worst case happens and they cannot sell for more than the agreed price then they can let the home for a short period with your permission in order to allow the market to recover. This is only a fall-back position and if after a time letting the market has not recovered then they may sell at a loss to recover the funds from the sale proceeds. The TASC promise is clear, they buy the property at the right price and aim to sell for a profit, but if they don’t, then they absorb this loss as part of their business model.
Here is an illustration of a transaction. Your transaction could take less or more time than this. Please note this is in working days.
Generally TASC's fee will be 5% less than Spring’s Home Buying Service. This fee will be all-inclusive with no additional legal or closing costs to pay. And if an Assisted Sale turns out not to be the solution you are looking for, you are always welcome to get back to us at Spring and take up our Home Buying Service Offer.
