    I've considered trying one of the quick buy companies just to get an idea but have read so many negative comments on here that it would probs be a last resort. I might still give one a call I guess it can't hurt to get a feel for a base price.

    Certainly give them a call, but I doubt that they will just quote you a price (which you can rely on).

    It's more likely that they will do something like this...
    • Start by raising your hopes and trying to gain your trust.
    • Once they have your trust and you are excited, they will gradually start to 'reel you in' - telling you how hard they are working to get you a good deal etc.
    • They will apologetically tell you that they have to keep reducing their offer - again and again.
    • If they can keep you on the hook long enough, and persuade you to take lower offers often enough, because you eventually become desperate - they might buy your house.
