Are there any good companies that buy your home without ripping you off?

We were in touch with a few companies looking to sell our home, our house is worth £130000 but some of the companies are offering us £70000-£73000 we feel like we are being ripped off

  • These companies who buy property for cash are capitalising on people desperate to sell. You won't find a company who will give you anywhere near market value. My advice would be to steer clear of these companies and market your property just under what other similar properties are marketed for in your area. Accepting a little bit less than what you want, rather than upwards of 30-40% less.

  • I agree with the answer above, put your property on the open market for between 5 and 10% below what you believe it is worth and somebody will buy it. Ensure that you keep the houses tidy and clutter free to maximise your chances.

  • You are and you aren't. Ask them all for £85k and they'll all say no. Why? Turn down a £130k house for £85k. They must be mad? ...... The reality is that your house may not be worth £130k. Clearly it has failed with estate agents otherwise you wouldn't be using these companies. What do EAs say it's worth? Here's a quick and safe way to find out. Put it in an auction, with a reserve of the lowest price you WOULD accept (whether that is £129,000 or £95,000 or whatever). It will cost you about £200 - and another £2,000 if it sells - and attend the auction and watch the bidding. Then you'll know.
