A new service for families funding care costs A new service dedicated to helping families facing the prospect of funding and moving a loved one into long term care has been launched this month.

Spicerhaart Property Management, a sister company to haart and both part of the UK’s largest independent estate agency group, is offering seven clear options to people who need to manage, sell or release cash from a property in order to fund the cost of care.

Neil Knight, Business Development Director, said: “Life events such as seeing an elderly parent move into care are usually very stressful for everyone. If care is needed at short notice, before anyone has had time to think about what to do with a property, it can be even more difficult.

“Our aim is to minimise the stress and help clients get the best value from their property. Our friendly team will talk everything through, of course without any obligation, and we have no vested interest in promoting one option over another.”

For those who want to sell their property, sale by agent is the most familiar route and should generate the highest price. On behalf of clients, the company will select and manage the best agent for the job.

Another option for selling is quick sale as clients receive a no obligation cash offer within seven days of a valuation. Offers are below open market value so this route will not suit everyone.

Sale by auction is another quick method (a maximum

haart.co.uk

of 30 days from a successful bid) as legal work is completed in advance. Sellers agree a guide price and a reserve or minimum price. Auction prices are usually below open market values so this option is also not suitable for everyone.

If there’s no wish or need to sell, the company’s property rental management services can take the stress out of renting and dealing with tenants.

Care fees plans guarantee to cover the cost of care for life, in exchange for a lump sum, usually from the sale of a property. Another option is bridging finance, essentially a short term loan secured against a property that is intended to be sold to fund long term care. Loans must be repaid within 12 months.

Should a loved one need to move into care at short notice, the care and maintenance option delivers a range of maintenance and security services designed to protect a vacant property. This may be ideal if there is no hurry to sell.

I had struggled with other local agents and turned to haa r t following a recommendati on from a fr iend. I wish I had done it ea rlier. T he who le exper ience has taught me that af ter sele cting an estate agent based on fee alone, you really do get what you pay for.”

haart opens homes to higher offers More sellers in are opening their homes for a day or weekend to boost their chances of quickly achieving the highest price, according to haart.

Paul Smith, Chief Executive of parent company Spicerhaart, said: “Put simply, the more competition, the more offers, the higher the price that can be achieved.

“And with the Government’s Help to Buy scheme more people can now afford a

mortgage, so there are many more new buyers right now.”

One recent open house event run by haart in South London saw 80 potential buyers for a three-bedroom semidetached house and yielded 30 offers by the time the weekend was over.

“It’s like having an open day at your home. We market the property widely on the web, in print and email our extensive database of buyers. We also put flags or signs outside the property,” said Paul.

Open house is applicable as a marketing tool to most if not all properties. For more information customers should contact their local haart branch or call 0845 899 9999, 8am to 10pm, 7 days per week, or visit www.haart.co.uk.
