    the biggest problem i have is i cannot afford to pay my mortgage and rent at the same time, hence why i was going for a quick sale route.

    FWIW, you are exactly the sort of person that rogue Quick Sale Companies would target.

    They will make 'promises' to persuade you to sign a contract which ties you in for many weeks/months.

    Then they will leave you to get desperate, because you cannot afford both rent and mortgage.

    Then, eventually, they will offer you a pittance - and you will probably accept it because you are desperate.

    Yep, go the conventional route first.
