t1954 said:Hello new on here. Has anyone sold their property with a company called
housebuyers4u.co.uk? The sale of our mothers bungalow has just fallen through! My sister cleared the furniture all out because the new owners said they didn’t want any of the furniture left there and now they have pulled out! My sister is in her 70s now and is the only one near enough to manage the upkeep of the bungalow and gardens, but mentally and healthwise she cannot maintain this through another winter. Which is why we are looking into selling to this company as our mother is in a ‘home’ which the bill will be paid off from the sale of bungalow. Does anyone have any experience with them at all?
Hope someone reads this!1 -

Rather than use one of these companies who will most probably down value your mothers home and possibly drop offer lower at exchange why not engage with estate agent and tell them you would like a quick sale?They can advise on best price to achieve same. You need to insure the house as empty, set heating to prevent frost damage and just keep a watching brief on property. Are there any reliable neighbours who could assist? The gardens should not need much upkeep over the wnter once leaves raked up.2 -
