Hi there!
Based on your responses, I don't think a House-Buying Company is going to be the right option for you.
(But don’t worry… I can tell you what is going to be the best option, and send you a freebie I think you’ll find useful).
Here’s why I don’t think a house-buying company is right for you:
In fact, the genuine ones only pay around 80% of the market value.
{{ Price }} ...
In the quiz, you said getting the best price was more important to you than a quick sale — which makes total sense.
So based on that, a house-buying company isn’t going to be the right route.
You’d be giving up too much value, and there are better ways to sell that are more in line with your goals.
{{ Not 20Percent }} ...
But in the quiz, you mentioned that losing 20% of your home's value would be too much — which is totally understandable.
So based on your answers, I don't think selling to a house-buying company is the right fit.
You’d be giving up a lot of money, and there are better options for you.
{{ NoGotOptions }} ...
That means you'd be giving up a huge chunk of your property's value.
But in the quiz, you said this isn’t a “must-sell” situation — so you’ve got options.
Selling to a house-buying company is more of a last resort, and so in your case there are definitely better ways to move forward.
{{ 5PlusMonths }} ...
But in the quiz, you said you’re not in an urgent rush to sell. You have 5+ months to sell your property. This means you have time…
And so you can use that time to get way more money!
{{ Over650k }} ...
Because you own such an expensive property, this means losing well over £100,000! … just to sell quickly!
You almost certainly have better options. (More on that below).
But even if you were happy to take a big loss, here’s the other problem…
House-buying companies all say “we buy any house”… and it makes them sound like they’re throwing money around. But they aren’t really like that.
The genuine ones are actually very careful with which properties they buy—and they’re pretty risk-averse.
As a result, they don’t like putting “too many eggs in one basket” by buying expensive properties. So most genuine house-buying companies won't buy properties over £500k.
Based on your responses, I think selling through a good, local Estate Agent is going to be the best option for you.
You’ll end up with way more money than selling to a House-Buying Company.
As you may know though, there are two major downsides to this:
I want to share something that should help though…
Over the last 15 years I’ve sold over 650 properties through estate agents—so I’ve dealt with more than my fair share of them...
Recently, I put together a video showing the five things to get right when you put your house on the market.
We'll cover:
It’s a pretty in-depth video (around 45 mins) but readers have told me it's saved them a ton of stress, a lot of money, and a lot of waiting around.
I hope you find it useful. And remember—you’ll come out tens and tens of thousands of pounds ahead compared with taking a 20% hit and selling to a House-Buying Company.
Just click below and I’ll email you a link right now.
Good luck!
Q: I thought some house-buying companies pay 90% of Market Value?
You'll definitely find companies who say they'll pay 90% or more of your home's value...
Unfortunately, those are either:
If there was a genuine company who'd pay 90% and could deliver a fast sale, I'd recommend them.
Unfortunately, there isn't. But that video should really hope you get a good price selling through your local estate agents.
