assisted sale
The seller keeps ownership while a partner funds and manages the works, then the property is sold and the seller takes an agreed sum.
For a property needing work, an assisted sale usually pays the seller more than a cash purchase, because the discount a cash buyer needs is the price of certainty and speed.
The trade-off is time and conditionality. The seller does not get their money on completion; they get it when the improved property sells, and the figure depends on the works estimate being right.
