Landlord Products / ServicesQuick house sale companies (also known as ‘We buy any house‘ companies) offer to sell or buy your home fast. Faster than the traditional routes, like a high-street estate agent.
There are generally two types of services available:
- A service that looks for third-party buyers (very quickly)
- A service (company) that directly purchases the property from you (which is usually the quickest way to achieve a sale, for the obvious reasons)
In both instances, you’ll generally have to accept a below market value (BMV) offer. You would typically be looking at getting around 10% – 25% less than the market value of your home. But I suspect (and hoping) that shouldn’t come as a surprise since there has to be a catch to the “quick sale” hook, and the discounted price is exactly it.
The ‘we buy any house’ and ‘property cash buyers’ market isn’t currently regulated so consumers aren’t protected when selling a property to one of these companies. Needless to say, be wary of scammers!
The National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB) ensures all members must register with The Property Ombudsman (TPOS) and adhere to its Code of Practice. So by using a company that is a member of the NAPB or a company registered with TPOS (like the ones listed below), homeowners can access its independent redress in the event of a dispute.
For a complete guide on how to avoid scammers, here’s my full guide.
