Presumably they do buy plenty of houses because they are still in business and can afford cheesy TV ads.
If you ignore their first offer and assume the cash you'd get at the end would be a lot less than 95%, do your sums with that.0 -

If they bought your house for 95% of its market value then how could they make any profit from that transaction? It would make no sense for them to do it, so it can't possibly be true.0

So "their offer" of 95% requires somebody to actually view it, want to buy it, place an offer...?
The £1m question... Why didn't those investors view it and place an offer when it was for sale with an EA?0 -
I actually used these guys last year. They didn't buy it themselves but found me a buyer pretty swiftly.
Nice enough people too, can't remember the guys name, but he kept me in the loop and seemed a decent chap1 -

OK - it would be good to know more...
Did they do anything that a regular estate agent wouldn't do?
Had your property already been listed with a regular EA at the same asking price - or did NHB persuade you to reduce the asking price?
If you'd reduced the asking price by the same amount with a regular EA - do you think it would have sold anyway?
How much did NHB charge you? Did they 'hide' their charges by doing a 'back-to-back' contract, or by charging the buyer, or something similar?0
