Unhappy Homebuyers

Hi We Are Struggling To Sell Our House At The Present Time And Just Wondered If Anybody Has Used Homebuyers To Purchase Their House.
If So How Much Under The House Value Do They Offer?
We Are Not Desperate At The Moment,but The Quicker We Sell The Sooner We Can Go To Ozz.
Cheers

We did get desperate after a year on the market and visas burning a hole in our pockets so approched them and a couple more like them, they all offered 25-30% under the asking price which was just too much for us to drop so declined the offer and finally sold a couple of months later.
Good Luck!

Don't even consider them. They charge YOU for the survey, then offer you about 60 - 70 % of the value of your house.

You would be better dropping your price to undercut other houses in your area.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO, don't do it.
They just take your money (Survey fee)and offer you a silly price, if you accept they win win.
IMHO waste of time

Totally agree, do a search on here and you'll find links to horror stories about them and similar companies.

Have you not considered auctioning your house?

We have looked into it, and it doesn't seem that bad as a last resort...

Good luck with what you decide

we approached them too and when he offered us 30% less than market price i told them to bugger off lol .....
so don't do it ..... just drop your house price enough to undercut properties in the same price range in your area
