Do both owners need to agree before I enquire?

No. You're welcome to find out what the property is worth to us first. Any sale would of course need agreement from all owners on the title.

Can you deal with our lawyers directly?

Yes. Many separation sales are handled through solicitors and we're comfortable working that way.

Is there any obligation once I make an enquiry?

None at all. You'll receive an offer and it's entirely your decision whether to accept, think it over, or go a different way.

Do I need to tidy up or make repairs first?

No. We buy properties exactly as they are, including homes that need work, have damage, or are full of belongings.

Will anyone know the property is for sale?

Only if you tell them. There's no listing, no signboard and no open homes — the process stays private between us.

A Christchurch home in the late afternoon light

Separation & relationship property

A private, certain way to sell the family home

When a relationship ends, the house often needs to be resolved before anyone can move forward. We buy directly in Christchurch — a clear cash offer, a known settlement date, and no public listing.

Let's get your cash offer started How it works

How it works

Three simple steps

01
Tell us about the property
Send through a few details using the form. It takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing.
02
We talk it through
A short, no-pressure conversation about the property, your timing and what matters most to you.
03
You receive a cash offer
A clear, no-obligation figure with a settlement date you choose. Take your time deciding.

Certainty, so everyone can move on

A listed sale can drag on for months, with open homes, price negotiations and both parties waiting on an outcome. That's difficult at the best of times, and harder during a separation.

A direct sale gives you a firm number and a firm date early, which makes it far easier for lawyers to work through relationship property and for both of you to plan what comes next.

We work quietly and respectfully. There's no signboard, no listing and no obligation — and we're happy to deal with your solicitor if that's easier for you.

We are after

No public listing, signboard or open homes
A firm figure and settlement date to work with
Happy to communicate through your lawyer or one nominated party
No commission or marketing costs reducing what's left to divide
The property is bought as it is — no repairs or clean-up needed

Why sell directly to AEY

Speed, certainty and control — without the traditional sales process

Fast cash offers

We buy with our own funds, so there's no chain, no finance conditions and no waiting on the market.

You choose settlement

Settle in a few weeks or a few months. The date is set around what works for you, not us.

Any condition considered

Dated homes, damaged properties, bare land and “as is, where is” titles are all welcome.

A simpler alternative

No staging, no repairs, no clean-up. Take what you want and leave the rest to us.

You'll speak with Cameron directly

No sales team, no pressure — just a straightforward conversation

Every enquiry comes to Cameron at AEY Projects. He'll call or email to understand your situation, answer questions and arrange a time to view the property if it makes sense. There's no script, no urgency tactics and no cost to find out what we can offer.

One point of contact from first call to settlement
Viewing arranged around your schedule
Offer explained in plain language — take your time deciding

"I needed to sell my parents' home after they moved into care. AEY made it simple, respectful, and on a timeline that worked for our family."
