Hi there!

Based on your responses, a House-Buying Company is probably not the right option for you. (But don’t worry – we can help you find out what is.)

First, let's look at why a house-buying company isn't going to be the right option for you: 

Getting a good price is your priority.

(You said that getting the best price possible is more important to you than getting a fast sale)

Explanation:

House-buying companies buy your home quickly, but they only pay around 80% of the market value – sometimes less.

(For example, if your property was worth around £125,000, they’d only offer you around £100,000!)

(For example, if your property was worth around £250,000, they’d only offer you around £200,000!)

(For example, if your property was worth around £450,000, they’d only offer you around £360,000!)

(For example, if your property was worth around £750,000, they’d only offer you around £600,000!)

Based on your priorities, this isn’t going to make sense for you. You’ll end up losing tens of thousands of pounds. If getting the best price is your main priority, there are better ways for you to sell. (Read on to learn more...)

You have plenty of time to sell. You don’t need a house-buying company!

(You said you’d be prepared to wait 5 months or longer for your sale, if necessary)

Red icon of paper and pencil

Explanation:

House-buying companies offer you a quick, certain sale… but it comes at a very high price. You’ll lose about 20% of the value of your home – which is tens of thousands of pounds!

Since you’re not in a rush, you don’t need to take this massive hit. You’ve got plenty of time, and you can use that time to sell for a much higher price. (And that extra money will be a lot better in your pocket than a house-buying company’s!)

... Expand
Your property is too expensive for a house-buying company.

(You said it’s worth over £650,000)

Red icon of paper and pencil

Explanation:

Unfortunately, expensive properties are harder to value, they usually take longer to sell, and they’re a lot more risky. (That’s because the house-buying company has to put “a lot of eggs in one basket” when they buy something expensive.)

Because of this, there are no genuine house-buying companies who buy in your price range.

(And even if there were, the amount of money you’d lose would be massive! That’s because house-buying companies only pay about 80% of the market value. For you, that’s a loss of more than £100,000!) There are better options available for you.

... Expand
Your property has a significant issue (meaning you’d get a very low offer).

(So there are better quick-sale options for you)

Red icon of paper and pencil

Explanation:

When house-buying companies buy a home, they want a predictable valuation and a quick resale.

Unfortunately, properties with significant issues can be really difficult to accurately value, and they often take longer to sell.

As a result, when house-buying companies buy “problem properties” they tend to buy them super cheap. After that, they simply put them in an auction and make a quick, easy profit.

If you’re serious about a quick sale and don’t want to give your property away, I’d suggest considering auction yourself. Click here to book a chat with me and learn more – I can help get you started.

So based on your circumstances, a house-buying company isn’t going to make sense for you.

Thankfully, there are other selling options that will be a much better fit…

So, what should you do next?

Even though a house-buying company isn’t the right option for you, we can help you figure out what is.
