Selling a House As Is Where Is? See What We Buy
If you’re selling a house as is where is in Christchurch, you might think nobody will want it until it’s fixed up. We want it as it stands. Mint Developments buys run-down, damaged and dated homes for cash, with no agent fees and no open homes. Below are some of the houses we’ve bought, shown as we found them and as we left them.
Houses We Bought As They Stood
Street and suburb only, out of respect for the people who live there now.
Huntsbury Avenue, Huntsbury
A two-storey family home still in its original 1970s condition. Brown cabinets, patterned vinyl, wallpaper in the toilet. We bought it as it was in 2022, started work that September and had it back on the market in November. It got a new kitchen and new bathrooms, and the trees came out.
Grange Street, Hillsborough
Two flats that needed re-levelling. We did that, then fitted new kitchens, bathrooms and laundry, insulation, double glazing and electric garage doors. The kitchen above is from one of the two.
Centaurus Road, Huntsbury
The pool at this house was empty, cracked and ringed with dirt when we started. It now has new coping, a new surround and water in it.

Questions Sellers Ask
Can you sell your house as is?
Yes. Selling a house as is where is means the buyer takes it in the state it’s in. That’s how we buy. You don’t need to repair or clean anything first.
Can you sell a damaged house?
Yes. We buy earthquake damaged and flood damaged homes, and houses that have just been left too long. We understand construction, so we work out the repair costs ourselves.
What about a house with mould or water damage?
We’ve taken on a house with black mould, a blocked sink and fogged-up glass. It didn’t put us off.
