Situation
Downsizing or Moving Into Care
A house held for thirty or forty years holds a great deal — belongings, memories, and usually an original kitchen. When the next move is a smaller home or a care residence, the deadline is set by the new place, not the housing market.
The timing runs the process
Retirement residences and long-term care placements come with dates. The family home then has to be dealt with within that window, often by adult children who live somewhere else.
Belongings
Deciding what forty years of possessions should become is the hardest part for most families. Take what matters and leave the rest — that part does not need to be solved before a sale.
Dated is not damaged
Original kitchens, bathrooms and carpets are exactly what we expect in a long-held home. They are not something to apologise for or spend money fixing.

How it works
Know what comes next.
Three straightforward stages, with no pressure at any point along the way.
- 01
Tell us about the property
Share the address, how to reach you, and a short set of details about the home — including anything that needs work.
- 02
Talk through the details
We review what you sent and may follow up with questions. Not every property is one we can make an offer on — if it is a fit, we explain the terms clearly.
- 03
Choose your next step
Take the time you need. If you decide to move ahead, the closing date and remaining details are agreed together as part of the sale.
Questions people ask
- I have power of attorney for my parent — can I sell?
- Often yes, depending on how the document is worded. Your lawyer will confirm what it allows.
- Do we need to clear the house?
- No. Take what the family wants and leave the rest.
- Can the closing wait until the move is complete?
- Tell us the date you need and we will build around it where we can.
