Cash 4 Homes

Has this been covered in a previous thread?
If so could you direct me to it please?

If not,

Anyone have any experience with them or similar companies?

Do they offer you a lot lower than the Market value of your home?

    They have to be regulated from now on .. although probably not regulated enough yet
  • I amvery interested in how this works and have been looking into it myself -there seems to be a real lack of quality information. I am in a position where I really need a quick sale and this would appear to be a great option BUT what percentage value do you get offered, is there an impact on solicitors fees, how quickly can it be processed etc. I don't want to dismiss it out of hand but I really would like some informed answers....can anyone help?

    I would say stay clear of these companies. If you are in serious debt explain this to the creditors and ask for time to sell. Have you sought advice from a free debt advice provider such a the CAB or Payplan.
