'we Buy Your House' Websites

[vonda]

Has anyone any experience of these websites which promise quick money for a reduced purchase price on your property?

[Davemano]

Yes, but only the We'll buy your Car. The prices they offer are an insult. and appear more like scrap dealers. Best left alone, but no experience regarding houses.

No experience, but when I was faced with considering this, I heard stories of how they "let you stay there" only to go back on it after a while and leave you high and dry. Avoid.

I've been told some offer 2 thirds of the market value but no personal experience.

[Cloverjo]

Just don't.

Go to a local reputable Estate Agent and get a valuation and then, if you say you are willing to accept a lesser figure, the Agent will be delighted to agree a bottom figure with you and quickly sell your property.

selling quickly is fine hans, but completing quickly is another thing. I "sold" my house within a week, but it still took another 3 months to actually move

The UK house transaction system is ridiculously prolonged, rife with unscrupulous so called professionals. Contractual obligations farcical. Scotland is a little better. The USA are more efficient. But, those are the apples. Re the post....not the best way.

Have you thought about auction if you need to move quickly?

We tried this a few years ago , trying to sell two houses Quickly, the offer was a joke, the offer they gave us for the two, was less than the value of one of them,. Do not go there.
