National Homebuyers

[Selfer01]

Should we sell our house to National Homebuyers?

If the price is right.

In reply to the 1st response, the problem is that you don't know the price National Homebuyers will pay for your house until you've agreed to their survey.... which costs several hundred pounds!

Does anyone know how much below the market value National Homebuyers typically buy properties for?

i used national home buyers to sell my mothers old house in february and they offered less than the market value, but that was fine. how else would they make money. i got �10k less than it was worth, but i didn't have to pay any estate agent fees and i got �450 to pay for the solicitor. not everyones situation is the same but they did well for me. rs

What was the price you had it valued for by the National Homebuyer's valuer? Did this differ from the value you thought it was i.e. did they undervalue it/did Estate Agents overvalue it? How much did the valuation conducted for National Homebuyers cost you (accepting that this cost was later refunded)? Was this comparable to market rates for a similar survey/valuation?

Sorry for all the questions but I think the answers might help people to decide if National Homebuyers is right for them.

Don't waste your money paying for survey fromNational Homebuyes.
T
hey offer about 55% of what your property would be worth at the peak of the market.

Example our house was worth �300k they offerd �175k

Its a con to get you to pay for the survey. which you can haggle about. I only paid �99 but still a waste of money.

They try to take advantage of you. dont let them!

There's plenty of other similar property buyer companies out there. I used a very professional outfit called Gateway Homes to sell my house. They completed in 2 weeks and paid all costs, no hidden charges etc. I would recommend them for a quick property sale.
