Has anyone had sold their house using this company?

If so, how did they get on and did they get the full market price?

Thanks.... June

You will pay them £500 and for that they will then make you an offer on your house that is 30-40% below market value. You can do a search on this site for similar threads that should confirm this.

They don't say you will get "full market price"

and offers will of course be based on the fact that things are processed quickly

Belive you pay for own valuation upfront

Thanks for the information.

I went to the link provided and read through it. Interesting reading!

beware of any company that asks for a payment up front before they make an offer. if you are desperate to sell there are companies that will buy but never pay up front, get 3 offers and ask for references

i seem to recall that National homebuyers ask for huge valuation fees upfront, knowing that most folks will not accept the particularly large discounted price that they offer for a fast sale. They inevitably make profits on these unused valuation fees.

The valuation fee is between £300 and £1,000, depending on the value of your house. According to reports I've read, they don't even come into the house, it's just a "drive-by". Typically they'll then offer you around 30% below market value, and refund the valuation fee on completion if you go ahead (generous, huh?).

Bear in mind that they don't promise to buy the house, just make an offer. They reserve the right to pull out, and take their valuation fee with them!

I wouldn't touch them with someone else's very long bargepole.
