I have carried on this thread from Timbo's original on the Lounge site. Thought i would move it for a little more coverage. Hope you don't mind Timbo.

Ok guys, have just received info on a possible house price from the company called Quick Sale. Sorry,but unless you have a house which would fetch a large price this option ain't for you.

We had ours on the market 12 months ago for £150,000, :clap 12 months on, we are now down to the lowest we can go, £130,000 :no This company has done its research for the next 3 months and have decided that in this time ours will drop to £128,000. :eek Now the offer they are willing to put forward is £105,000 :eek :wah Obviously we have dismissed this offer. So they have offered an alternative suggestion. We would enter into a profit share. Whatever our house sold for once they put it back on the market, we would receive 25%. Having done my sums they can stick it where the sun don't shine.

Ok, we ain't paid anything towards this info, so if some of you folks want to give them ago fire away, you maybe pleasently surprised as area's differ.

Sorry if this hasn't come out the way you and i would have liked it. But we had to try this option. So we are now back to the waiting game and hope that this place shifts fast.

I am glad to hear that you didnt have to pay out to get that info. Kim.
Out of curiosity, if you had aproached them say, 10 months ago, and they had offered you circa. 130k, do you think you may have been tempted?
It would seem that they have a very good crystal ball at their disposal, I wonder if they hire it out.
Thanks for sharing. :nice1

Hi Timbo

According to the estate agents our house is still worth £145,000 as are other houses up for sale on our estate, we have chose to reduce it, the estate agent didn't suggest it, but this company don't go by market value they have a formula which they use, and they did say that they normally only buy off people who are really desperate, which we are but not in the sense that they mean, when I said that £130,000 is the lowest price we could take, I meant that if someone came and offered us that then we would consider it, not that that is the price it is now up for, sorry if I misled you into thinking that, so they are actually offering to buy at
£40,000 BELOW market value, so the answer to your question is no, because 10months ago they would still probably have offered the £105,000 that they have offered today, even in a bouyant market. Also hindsight is a marvellous thing, because if we had put our house up 6 weeks earlier than we did then we could have sold it ten fold as the estate agents couldn't keep up with demand. So we will just have to be patient.

Thanks for clarifying Elaine. I think I will scrub that company off of my list now. :cheers

Wow, how desperate would you have to be to sell to these guys? Can't believe they get enough business to stay afloat (mind you, at that sort of potential profit I guess they wouldn't need much business in a year to make a good living!!).

Thanks for that info Kim :nice1 As you know from the previous thread, we've been considering giving them a call as well. Have decided to hold fire another couple of months to see what happens with 'normal viewings' (is there such a thing as a normal viewing??? :? ) if we do decide to get a quote from them, we'll post the results.

The one thing that I do think is good about this company, is that at least you don't have to pay them anything upfront to get a quote.
