MC Properties was started by brothers Michael and Martin Commins as a means of offering an alternative solution to house selling, sitting comfortably alongside traditional estate agencies and offering more certainty than an auction.

With over 16 years experience running an electrical and heating company within the West Midlands, their well established business soon branched out into renovating properties for local Estate Agents. Having gained invaluable experience in the local property market the next step involved the outright purchase of suitable properties.

MC Properties lets people start new lives quickly and easily. Our service is for home owners having to move to a deadline, whether it be the start of term, new job or to move into sheltered accommodation; for couples who want to separate, properties that have been inherited or people who want to move abroad.

When MC Properties helps break a chain, the sale price may be lower than the market value, and the house owner saves estate agent’s fees, and removal costs can be much lower because the move can be better planned.

MC Properties can exchange contracts on a property within seven days. Completion normally takes place at a speed to suit the vendor and can be held over for a few weeks if necessary. Our legal processes are managed through a respected panel of solicitors in the West Midlands.

If the chain collapses at the last minute, the stress is incredible. It’s very hard to sell a house quickly once it’s been on sale for some time because most people who are likely to be interested have already viewed the property.

Whilst a lot of homeowners cannot afford to lose money on the sale of a house, others work out that taking a loss may actually be cheaper than starting again. MC Properties agrees the price by taking the average of several comparables from local estate agents.

MC Properties will buy homes in need of renovation, in order to sell them on. Purchasing properties that require renovation takes away both the stresses of DIY and the financial strains of modernisation.

Property markets reach a peak and then slow or fall. Some buyers are already aware of the uncertainty and are thinking that they would prefer to take a drop now rather than hang around for three months and take it then.
