How a retiree sold his home to fund his retirement abroad

Trevor had lived in the same home in Surrey for over 25 years. As he approached retirement, he made the decision to relocate to Portugal. To move forward, he needed to sell his property quickly and avoid the months of waiting that often come with estate agents and chains.

A guaranteed way to sell without risking fall-throughs.
No need for viewings, redecorating or preparing the home.
A completion date that would align with his overseas move.
Funds released in time to secure his new place abroad.
A simple, no-fuss process from start to finish.

Trevor submitted his property details to Habello.
We reviewed the home and sent a no-obligation cash offer.
He chose a completion date that aligned with his travel.
The sale completed in 7 days.
Funds were transferred before his relocation.
No agents, no fees, and no disruption to his retirement plans.

This is an example scenario based on real situations that we regularly help with.

Selling your property for retirement FAQs

Can I sell now and move later?

Yes. Once we’ve agreed on a sale, you can choose a completion date that suits your retirement plans.

What if I haven’t found my next home yet?

No problem. You can secure an offer with us now and finalise your completion date once you're ready.

Do I need to prepare or stage the property?

No. We buy homes in their current condition, so there’s no need to redecorate or tidy up for viewings.

Can I use the funds to move abroad or buy another home?

Yes. Once the sale completes, the money is yours to use however you wish — whether that’s buying, renting or retiring overseas.

What if I change my mind?

There’s no pressure to go ahead. Our offers are obligation-free and you’re in control at every step.

Do I need to use an estate agent or solicitor?

You don’t need an estate agent to sell with Habello. We’re happy to work with your solicitor or help coordinate with one if you already have someone handling the sale.
