Collie House Restumping

A property under offer in Collie required restumping prior to the sale being completed. This particular property, which had garnered significant interest from potential buyers, presented a challenge due to its structural integrity. Upon inspection, it became evident that the stumps supporting the foundation had deteriorated over time, which can be a common issue in older homes.

Restumping is a crucial process that involves replacing the existing stumps with new ones, ensuring that the property is stable and safe for occupancy. This step is not only vital for the structural soundness of the home but also plays a significant role in meeting the expectations of buyers who are looking for a property that is both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound.

Recognising the urgency of the situation, we quickly engaged a reputable contractor who specialises in this type of work. The contractor assessed the extent of the damage and provided a detailed plan outlining the necessary steps to complete the restumping process efficiently. This involved lifting the house, removing the old stumps, and installing new, durable stumps that would provide a solid foundation for years to come.

Throughout this period, we maintained open communication with the prospective buyers, keeping them informed about the progress of the repairs. This transparency helped to build trust and ensured that the buyers felt confident in their decision to proceed with the purchase.

After the restumping was successfully completed, we conducted a thorough inspection to ensure that everything was up to code and met the required safety standards. The property was then re-listed, and we organised several viewings to attract potential buyers.

Remarkably, just three weeks after the completion of the restumping, we were able to finalise the sale. The buyers expressed their satisfaction with the improvements made to the property, and they appreciated the efforts taken to address the structural concerns. This successful transaction not only highlighted our commitment to ensuring the property was in optimal condition but also underscored the importance of addressing potential issues before finalising a sale. The swift resolution of the restumping issue ultimately contributed to a smooth and successful closing process, much to the delight of all parties involved.
