Sell as-is where suitable
If the property fits what we buy, we may consider a direct cash purchase after reviewing condition, timing, title and commercial feasibility.

Need to sell a property
that's hard to
deal with?
We review Wellington properties as-is and help you decide whether a direct cash sale, renovation plan, rental strategy or hold option makes the most practical sense.

Practical property support
Hard property?
Start with the outcome.
Some properties are not straightforward. We help owners work out whether to sell as-is, improve first, rent, hold or step away before spending more money.
Plan the work before committing
Scope repairs, build a realistic budget, prioritise work and reduce renovation risk before costs run away.
Discuss a renovationCheck the numbers before deciding
Review resale value, rent, renovation cost, holding cost, tax settings and whether the property still makes sense.
Review a rental Cash purchase option
Sell as-is
without open homes.
If you want a simpler sale, we may consider buying suitable Wellington properties directly for cash. This can suit owners who want privacy, certainty, flexible timing or a way around repairs they do not want to take on.
We are comfortable reviewing properties with deferred maintenance, structural concerns or unfinished work. Any direct purchase is still subject to standard property review, due diligence and commercial feasibility, with no obligation on either side. How it works
A simple way
to test your options.
You do not need a full report before contacting us. Start with the property and what you are trying to decide.
Send the address
Share the address or suburb, your contact details and anything useful: photos, listing link, current use, condition or timing.
We review the options
We look at as-is sale potential, renovation risk, resale value, rental outcome, holding costs and whether a direct purchase may fit.
You choose the path
That might be selling, renovating, renting, holding, getting specialist advice or discussing timing if we are interested in buying.

Free tools
Use the tools
behind the thinking.
The calculators are free tools for testing property numbers. They support better decisions around offers, renovation budgets, GST, income tax, holding cost and expected profit.
This is an indicative estimate, not financial advice. Rates, tax, vacancies, and maintenance can materially change actual returns.
Offer calculator
Work backwards from resale value.
Use this when you know the likely resale value, renovation cost, GST/tax settings and target profit, and need to find the maximum offer.

About 918 Property Solutions
Local property operators,
not just a form.
918 Property Solutions brings together trade experience from a licensed building practitioner and financial discipline from a chartered accountant.
We are Wellington-based property operators who also do our own projects, so we think practically about cost, resale value, rental potential, timing and risk.
Our building experience helps us assess repair risk realistically from the start. Our accounting background helps us test the numbers carefully, move decisively where a property fits, and be clear about timing, assumptions and conditions.
If we are interested in buying or being commercially involved in a property, we will say so clearly. You should still get your own legal, tax, valuation, finance or real estate advice where needed.
