Hi there!
Based on your responses, I don't think a House-Buying Company is the right option for you.
Because your property has some issues, I think it could cost you a lot more than expected.
(But don’t worry — there’s a much better way to get a quick sale without losing so much of your home’s value).
Here’s the truth about house-buying companies:
It’s what I call “The Double Whammy Effect” — and it means you could end up losing 30–40% of your property’s true value.
Let me quickly explain how it works… and why you might be far better off going straight to auction yourself.
(And then, if you like, I can connect you directly with an auction house I know and trust.)
Selling to a house-buying company sounds great. It’s quick, easy, and certain.
But here’s the problem:
I’ve worked around house-buying companies for 10+ years, and the genuine ones only pay about 80% of your home’s market value.
In your case though, I'd expect it to be even worse.
Here's why:
That’s how you can end up losing 30-40% of your home’s true value.
Meanwhile, they pocket the difference.
If your home’s likely to end up in auction anyway… just go to auction directly.
It’s quick, simple, and you’ll keep the money they’d otherwise make off you.
Let me show you how it works — and then I can connect you with a trusted auction expert for free.
Here are the 4 main benefits of selling via auction:
There are downsides too.
First, auctions still aren’t guaranteed. You'll have to price your property realistically and follow your auctioneer's advice to maximise your chances of selling.
Secondly, it can be difficult to sell through auction if you’re planning to buy another property.
Finally, if you really want to get the best price – and you’re prepared to wait, then your best option is usually to remedy the property issues, and then sell through an estate agent.
This can be a long and uncertain road though (depending on your property’s issues).
So if that isn’t an option for you—or you want something faster—then auction is usually your best option.
If this is making sense and you want to explore auction further, here’s what to do next:
They’ll explain everything, answer your questions, and help you decide if auction really is the best option for you.
No pressure. No pushy sales talk.
Just honest advice from people I trust.
Just wow, I cannot begin to explain how helpful Matthew has been and the difference he has made.
Matthew took the time to listen while I explained our circumstances. He provided loads of knowledge and advice about the selling method we were looking into, and thanks to his honest and professional advice we concluded that it wasn't the right route for us.
I cannot recommend this company enough. There was absolutely no pressure to do anything, just honest advice that was absolutely in our best interest.
Matt's knowledge and understanding of the property market and selling options are extremely impressive and absolutely unquestionable.
However, what really sets him apart is his incredible willingness to help, take the time to understand your particular situation and to find the best solution for your specific issue.
His guidance and analysis were perfectly clear and his commitment to help incredibly refreshing.
It was with great relief that I found Matt's website and having read his articles I contacted him. He was sympathetic to my dilemma and talked me through various options, some of which I had not previously considered.
He helped me assess the situation from a practical point of view rather than an emotional one. I was most impressed with his honest, friendly, free advice and so pleased that I had such a comprehensive talk with him.
Many thanks Matt, I can see some light at the end of the tunnel now!
Matt is knowledgeable, professional and really wants to help you to achieve your property selling goals.
He makes very tailored recommendations by taking the time to understand your particular circumstances.
This is a rare find in the property industry!
I came across Matt purely by accident but am very pleased that did.
I needed advice on my house that has been on the market a year and not sold.
I was beginning to consider a cash buyer company but Matt did the maths and was able to tell me not to do it but gave me other suggestions that I have found extremely helpful.
I would definitely recommend Home Selling Expert.
I contacted Matt after researching options for selling 2 properties.
He got someone to discuss the options of a cash buying company which wasn't right.
Then he followed this up himself with a really helpful discussion where he openly and honestly advised me for my situation.
Would definitely recommend.
Very helpful and resourceful. So glad that we came across this site.
We weren’t sure what to do when faced with a property problem, but Matt at Home Selling Expert was super.
The company that he referred us to was brilliant as well. Thank you so much Matthew! We would definitely recommend this site!
Was given Matt's website details by a friend who had been helped by him in the past. I was offered suggestions that I hadn't considered and will now be taking forward.
This is a fantastic service to offer and it's free. I can't thank Matt enough.
An excellent service with truly impartial advice. Matt really helped me review my options in a systematic and helpful manner.
He was very understanding of what has been a very stressful process in selling my property. I thoroughly recommend both Matt and his website - thank you for being there!
I've worked in property for over 40 years but facing a unique issue that I had never faced before. Home Selling Expert offered immense and extremely invaluable advice.
No hidden fees or charges, just awesome advice. I now know where to go for helpful advice.

I contacted Matthew for advice about the sale of our property and relocating as we found ourselves stuck in a difficult situation.
I found him very informative and so easy to talk to. Soooo very helpful with no charge for his advice.
He comes across as a very knowledgeable and genuine person who has certainly given us some good advice to move forward.
Thank you Matthew
Matt gave me excellent advice on how to increase the likelihood of selling my flat.
I also learnt about the pitfalls of online estate agents and auction houses for my type of property.
Matt was patient, kind, understanding, and explained things clearly, offering tailored advice to help with my situation – including connecting me to a company that could help me.
I’d highly recommend speaking to Matt and availing of his services.
Had a very in-depth conversation with Matthew in regard to using a house buying company.
I really wanted to know more, be sure of the potential and pitfalls and I really did speak with the right person.
Matthew advised the best plan for what we want (a quick sale), suggested our options and then took details to pass to the house buying company he recommends.
I feel much more informed and can now take a view as to our options.
Spoke initially with Matthew at Home Selling Expert.
After assimilating my situation he made some suggestions that I could consider.
The route I chose, based on his recommendations, turned out to be successful, and we managed to sell quickly with minimal fuss.
I have spoken with him several times, and his advice has really helped me make more informed decisions.
