A Boosted Sale is a way to sell your home for more.

We increase your property’s value by modernising it throughout, making it more appealing to buyers and boosting the final sale price. All renovation costs are covered by me, and I manage everything from start to finish.

Here’s how it works:

I fund and oversee a full renovation of your property. Once the work is complete, it’s listed on the open market in its improved condition.

At the very start, we agree on a guaranteed minimum amount that you’ll receive. Unlike a traditional house sale — where buyers often try to knock the price down — you’ll have complete peace of mind, knowing exactly what you’ll walk away with. That means you can plan your next steps with confidence.

It’s a flexible, stress-free way to unlock more money from your property — even if you don’t have the time, funds, or energy to do the work yourself.

Boosted Sales work best for properties that need some modernisation or improvement to reach their full potential.

This could include:

Homes that are dated or have been left empty for a while

Properties in need of a new kitchen, bathroom, or full refurbishment

Inherited homes that require clearing out and updating before being listed

Ex-rental properties that have seen wear and tear over the years

The key is that the property has room for improvement — and by making those upgrades, we can significantly increase the final sale price.

If you're unsure whether your property would be suitable, I’m always happy to have a look and give honest, no-obligation advice.

At the very start of the process, we agree on a guaranteed minimum amount that you’ll receive once the property sells — and this is confirmed in writing before any work begins.

This figure is based on a realistic market valuation of your home in its current condition. I work with local estate agents and up-to-date market data to make sure the price is fair and accurate.

No matter how the sale goes, that guaranteed amount is locked in for you, so there are no last-minute reductions or unexpected changes, like you might face in a typical sale.

If the property sells for more than expected after the renovation, the extra value is then shared between us, exactly as agreed upfront, a win-win for both of us.

It’s all about transparency, fairness, and helping you achieve the best possible outcome — with complete peace of mind.

I do along with the help of trusted Tradesmen! I coordinate and oversee the entire process, from planning and trusted trades to final staging—ensuring a high-quality finish that appeals to buyers.

In a Boosted Sale, the property needs to be vacant during the renovation so the work can be carried out safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.

If the property isn’t already empty, you’ll need to move out before the work begins. If you’re currently living there, we’ll discuss options for relocating during the renovation, and I can help guide you through practical solutions for temporary accommodation and storage of your belongings, if needed.

I completely understand this can feel like a big step, but having the property vacant allows the renovation to be completed faster and without disruption — helping you get it sold more quickly and unlock the full value it deserves.

Yes — you remain the legal owner of the property throughout the entire Boosted Sale process, right up until it’s sold.

You keep full ownership and control while I fund and manage the renovation.

A legal charge is placed on the property to protect my investment (similar to how a mortgage works), but the title stays in your name until the final sale completes.

This setup ensures transparency and gives you peace of mind — you’re never signing over ownership or losing control of your property.

Everything is agreed in writing, and you’re always welcome to seek independent legal advice before anything begins.

Yes, a Boosted Sale is completely legal and fully protected by a formal agreement.

To safeguard both of us, I place a legal charge on the property — similar to how a mortgage lender secures their interest. This protects my investment in the renovation while the work is being carried out and until the property is sold.

The legal charge is agreed in writing and handled by solicitors, with everything clearly set out before any work begins.

I cover the cost of the legal work, and you’re welcome to seek your own independent legal advice so you feel fully confident before proceeding.

It’s a transparent, fair, and secure way to protect both parties and ensure everything is done properly from start to finish.

Yes — before any work begins, we both sign a formal legal agreement that clearly outlines everything we’ve agreed.

This includes:

- The guaranteed minimum amount you’ll receive

- Details of the renovation

- How the profit share works

- What happens if the sale takes longer than expected

This protects both of us and ensures full transparency from the start. You’ll receive all documents in plain English, and I always recommend that you get independent legal advice so you feel fully confident before moving forward.

You’re free to explore the Boosted Sale option without any pressure — and nothing is legally binding until the agreement is signed.

Once contracts are signed and the renovation work has started, it becomes a committed partnership and can’t be cancelled without significant cost — as I will have already invested time and money into the project.

That’s why we take time upfront to make sure it’s the right decision for you, with everything clearly explained before you commit.

We typically base a Boosted Sale on a 9-month timeline. This covers everything from the initial agreement and renovation, through to listing the property and completing the sale.

Here’s a general breakdown:

Initial setup (1–2 weeks): Agreeing terms, valuations, and legal paperwork

Renovation (6–12 weeks): Depending on the level of work required

Marketing and sale (8–16 weeks): Listing the property, finding a buyer, and progressing to completion

The final stage — when the property is under offer and going through the legal process — can vary. As most people know, house sales can take different amounts of time depending on solicitors, chains, and buyer circumstances.

That’s why we work to a flexible 9-month timeframe — giving us room to complete the process properly, without pressure or unnecessary delays.

Throughout, I’ll keep you updated at every stage and manage the whole process on your behalf.

Before we begin, we carefully assess the local market to make sure the renovation will add real value and that the property will be appealing to buyers once complete.

That said, if the property doesn’t sell straight away, I continue to manage the process until it does — including any further marketing or small adjustments needed. You won’t be left in limbo, and you won’t be out of pocket.

The guaranteed amount we agreed at the start still stands, and you don’t take on any financial risk.

My goal is always to get the best result for both of us — and I only take on projects where I’m confident we can achieve a successful sale.

No. All costs for the refurbishment and service are covered and repaid from the final sale proceeds—so there’s nothing to pay out of pocket.

Yes! If a Boosted Sale doesn't sound ideal for your situation, we can offer a Fast-Track Sale. It’s a quick, no-fuss option where I purchase your property directly from you.

It’s ideal if you want to sell quickly, avoid the hassle of estate agents, viewings and repairs, and need a simple, guaranteed sale—for example, if you’re relocating, dealing with a divorce, or inherited a property you don’t want to keep.

I’ll assess your property and make a fair offer based on its current market value and condition. I buy properties in all conditions—even if they need work or haven’t been updated in years. There’s no obligation, and everything is explained clearly from the start.

In many cases, we can complete the sale in as little as 7–21 days, depending on your circumstances and legal process.

No, I run an independent business—Nicky Hunt’s Houses—which means you get a more hands-on, trustworthy service without the pushy sales tactics.

You’ll be working directly with me, Nicky Hunt, from start to finish. I’m your main point of contact, and I personally manage every step to make sure things run smoothly and professionally.

I’m based in Fareham, Hampshire, and I work across surrounding areas including Portsmouth, Southampton, Gosport, and the wider Hampshire region. If you're nearby and unsure, just ask—I'm happy to advise.

It's easy to find out if a Boosted Sale is right for you.
