Even if you are wanting to sell your home quickly, do not go to a company that says they will buy any home, use a trusted local estate agent instead. There are several stories circulating about people who used these firms and then have subsequently lost lots of money on the sale of their home.
Investigations by national newspapers and the BBC have found that whilst estate agents valued a property at a fair price, buy home quickly firms have sold houses for as much as 53% less than the market value. The usual practice is to offer between 10 and 25% off the market value and then either buy the property or sell to third parties.
