We buy earthquake-damaged, run-down, inherited, and unwanted homes across Canterbury, in any condition, at any stage. No agents. No open homes. No uncertainty.
Free · No obligation · Confidential
We know selling a damaged or unwanted home is stressful. We've helped many Cantabrians through exactly this situation, and we'll make it as simple and straightforward as we possibly can for you.
Three simple steps, and we guide you through all of them.
Fill in the short form below, or just give us a call. Tell us as much or as little as you're comfortable with. There's no obligation at this stage.
We'll arrange a time to visit the property at your convenience. After we've had a look, we'll make you a fair, no-obligation cash offer, usually within 24–48 hours.
Accept the offer and pick a settlement date that suits you. We handle all the paperwork and coordinate with your solicitor. Then you're done.
The traditional way of selling a home wasn't designed for difficult situations. We were.
Earthquake damage, deferred maintenance, full of stuff. It doesn't matter. We buy homes exactly as they are.
Don't spend a cent getting the place ready. Leave it exactly as it is and we'll handle everything after settlement.
No real estate commissions, no marketing costs, no hidden charges. The offer we make is the money you receive.
No strangers walking through your home on weekends. Everything is private and on your terms.
You'll always speak with us directly, not a call centre or junior agent. Personal, honest service from start to finish.
No finance conditions, no waiting on bank approvals. When we make an offer, we mean it.
Pick a settlement date that works for your life. We can move quickly or give you time to find your next home.
Every situation is different. Here are some of the most common ones we help with.
Tired of fighting with EQC or insurers? We understand the Canterbury repair system and can take the whole headache off your hands.
Sorting out a deceased estate is emotional and complicated enough. We make the property side simple and stress-free.
When you need to divide assets quickly and move forward, we offer a fast, discreet solution with no fuss.
Managing a Christchurch property from a distance is exhausting. We can handle the whole process remotely.
Years of deferred maintenance? No problem. We buy homes that need serious work, and we don't blink.
Sometimes you simply want it done. No campaign, no negotiations, no waiting. We get it.
Not sure if we can help? Just ask. There's no obligation.
Abin here. My partner and I have lived in Christchurch for over 17 years, and we've seen first-hand what the earthquakes did, to buildings and to people. We started this business because we believed there had to be a better, more human way for property owners in difficult situations to move forward.
We're not a big faceless company. When you call or email us, you get us, the owners, every time. We know the Canterbury market inside out, and we'll always be straight with you about what we can offer and why.

Owner, Garnet Homes
We think you deserve to understand exactly how we arrive at our offer. No smoke and mirrors.
We research what similar homes in your area have sold for recently, in normal condition. This gives us a realistic starting point for market value.
We estimate the realistic cost of any repairs, remediation, or renovation the property needs. We're experienced at this, and we're straight with you about our thinking.
Like any business, we need to cover costs and make a margin. We'll always be honest about this. We're not trying to get a bargain at your expense, but we do need the numbers to work.
Our offer won't fall over due to finance or a change of heart. What we offer is what we pay, and we always encourage you to get independent legal advice before signing.
Real stories from Cantabrians we've helped.
"After years of dealing with EQC and getting nowhere, I just wanted out. These guys were fair, honest and had everything sorted in three weeks. I wish I'd called them years earlier."

"We inherited a rundown property after Mum passed and none of us had the time or energy to fix it up. The process was so easy. They handled everything and we got a fair price."

"I was living in Auckland and couldn't manage the property from there. One phone call, one visit, and it was done. Honestly couldn't have been easier."
