I can't believe that they do not buy property's as surely they would be in breach of one of the advertising bodies regulations
They never bought any property, because no home-buyer in their right mind would accept their absurdly low offers."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0 -
Update:mad::mad::mad:
Well I accsepted the offer on a 4 bed detached house worth £280.000 The offer was £229.268.
I instructed solicitors and sorted the mortgage. " weeks from exchange they have come back to me and have said that there research department has a new figure.
Based on there research my house is only worth £205.000 on the open market and the offer is now £150.000
They say they have spoken to all the estate agents in Braintree. I have contacted them and none have spoken to National Homebuyers.
I am contacting trading standards and Watchdog.
AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAGUE0 -
scutter you were advised on here more than once that this company was known to do this ... why did you accept the offer ?
maybe the market value of your property actually has dropped to £205k ?
go to an auction house and ask their advice as to how your local property market is behaving at auction - you can always put a reserve price on it....
quick sale companies have been slaughtered by the credit crunch in so far as lenders have less than 1/3rd of the mortgage products on sale now than a year ago. Lenders are also increasing their mortgage arrangement fees such that is it becoming stupidly expensive to buy a Below market value property - knowing that mortgage payments have to be made for several months whilst awaiting the re-sale.0 -
I accepted the offer because I had a offer in writing. They told me they had done the research and the offer was £229.268.
A house identical to ours is on the market for £280.000 and a house smaller then ours has just sold for £260.000.
We accepted because the house we are buying was dropped from £500.000 to £450.000 so we weren't really loosing out. I didn't believe that a company as large as this would act this way.0 -
is there anything in their small print to say they can change their minds .......0
