    Hello,

    A representative of British Homebuyers has reached out to us with a reply to this thread, which we're posting on their behalf below:
    Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread, we’re grateful for the opportunity to offer some clarity.

    British Homebuyers was founded in 2013 with one aim: to offer ethical alternatives in a property sector that hasn’t always put homeowners first. We help people who need options outside of the high street, especially where properties have struggled to sell, or time-sensitive personal circumstances (like inheritance, debt, or relocation) apply.

    To clarify:
    • ✅ We offer 3 services, not just “quick cash”:
    1. Cash purchase (80–85% of value) – for speed and certainty.
    2. 30-day investor sale – our most popular, achieving 95–97% via chain-free buyers.
    3. Traditional best-price listing – for sellers seeking maximum value.
    • 💬 Most of the homes we help sell have failed to sell elsewhere first. We specialise in repositioning difficult-to-sell properties.
    • 🔒 No last-minute price drops. We never reduce offers last minute. An unethical practice we hate. 
    • 💷 No upfront fees. We never charge for our cash purchases.
    We’re always happy to speak directly with anyone who has questions. Thanks again for the discussion, transparency is key to helping sellers make the right choice for their situation

    If one of their main selling points is a swift completion, taking 3.5 years to respond to this thread seems odd…
    They maybe need a better PR company? Or perhaps they just moved? 

    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
