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.
