    Hi
    I have sold to one of these companies they typically offer you around 75-80% of market value and pay all of your fees aswell.


    Great, why not just sell for market value though?

    One post wonder again, who seems to have joined especially to give this generous review for some strange reason.

    Not that I am a sceptic at all.:beer:

    And one who has gone to the effort of dredging up a thread that hasn't been posted on for 6 months.

    Very public spirited!

    Well, that's OK then.

    I should only be about £100k down on the deal. Nice! :)

    TBH...it's lovely to see someone who comes on the forum and actually admits to having sold their property this way....

    I've often wondered what a mug looks like......

    hopefully the thread will then return to the obscurity it deserves....no more feeding the trolls...even in half term week!

    Good of you to register on the site purely to post this completely genuine and impartial recommendation.

    If these companies really paid that much for every house they bought and then sold them on at the market rate, they wouldn't make enough profit for it to be a viable business.
