Relocation companies
We are struggling to sell our house and thought of going to a Relocation company. Has anyone here sold their house to one of these companies and was it at reasonable price?
Thanks

Re: Relocation companies
Define "reasonable".
Does it mean the price someone is willing to pay for the house, or the price you might wish to achieve?

Re: Relocation companies
When I say reasonable I mean £10,000 less than the market price or do they tend to offer £30,000 to £40000 less (based on our house at £330,000)

The company also has to make a profit out of the deal.

Re: Relocation companies
As JAJ said I think you're dreaming to only take a discount of that much. Have a read through previous discussions:

It's been discussed before on here and I'm pretty sure they always offer a crap amount. Which I can't say I blame them as they take all the risk, and they're a company so they are obviously out to make a profit on it.

It's like a car - hubby got offered $3000 for it as a trade in......private sales are about $10k

Re: Relocation companies
Yep, I totally agree! We will sell privately. I would expect a dealer to offer less than the price than I could sell it for......but that was just taking the mick.
