If your hearing is coming up.
Short answers to the questions we hear most often from homeowners with a hearing date imminent.
Homeowners with a court date — and what happened next.
I was convinced I was going to lose everything. The court letter felt like the end. Within 48 hours of calling Civic Rescue, I had a written offer, my arrears were being handled, and the team had the paperwork ready for the hearing. I walked away with money in my account.
We had a possession order and a bailiff date set. I was certain we'd lose the house. Civic Rescue had a formal offer to us in 24 hours and presented the paperwork directly to the court. The proceedings were stayed. We completed 10 days later.
Every hour matters at this stage.
One call takes minutes and commits you to nothing. We give you an honest picture immediately — and if we can help, we move fast.
Civic Rescue operates as a principal property buyer and does not provide debt advice, regulated mortgage advice, or FCA-authorised services. We strongly recommend all sellers seek independent legal advice before proceeding — and we pay all reasonable legal costs as standard.
