Red ash — — is a by-product of local industry used as infill under floors between 1940 and 1972, when materials were scarce after the war. thousands of homes across the six towns during the industrial era. It causes sulphate attack on concrete floors, creating structural issues that make mortgage lending extremely difficult.
We have purchased hundreds of red ash properties across Stoke-on-Trent. We know how to value them accurately and fairly. We know the areas most affected — from Hanley to Burslem to Tunstall to Longton.
Had a Buyer Use Your Survey to Reduce Their Offer?
It happens constantly with problem properties. A buyer agrees a price, then the survey comes back and suddenly they're threatening to walk away unless you drop £15,000–£25,000 off the price. They hold the result over your head, knowing you're committed and facing the prospect of starting the whole process again. It's a tactic — and it's one of the most stressful things a seller can face.
At Jeffries, our offer is based on a proper pre-offer assessment. We buy hundreds of properties in this area. We know what red ash properties are worth — and our offer reflects that from the start.

There is always the delay to getting property to market. Agents always want internal and external photos and a ‘For Sale’ board (not the best if you like your privacy). If you're lucky you then have people who would like to view your property, whether they are interested in buying or not! Property sales using Estate agents would normally take around 6 months but unfortunately a quarter of property sales fail due to broken chains, finance and survey issues. However, if the sale was successful you would generally get a better price.
Property auctions are a lot quicker than traditional estate agents but it would still take around 2 months for completion and you probably end up with similar completion price or less as you would have to pay the auctioneers fees and upfront legal costs
It is possible to do the completion within a week, but in most cases it takes a couple of weeks. We are able to exchange and complete on the same day!
First step is you contacting us, we then view your property and assess the value. We will then make an offer and we agree terms with you. You then receive the cash and move on with your life.
