Anybody heard of/ used SellQuick?

[clockworkorange]

REceived a 'too good to be true' offer through my door. The company is called SellQuick and the offer is to buy my flat which is currently for sale and has been for a number of months.

Is this a scam?

Anybody heard of these guys?

Feels a bit like webuyanycar.com ie they'll buy for knock off price.

Any experience be good to hear.

Thank you

Looked into some of these when we were selling eighteen months ago and were trying to hold a chain together - as you correctly surmise, they're exactly like webuyanycar etc - rip off merchants. They'll give you about 60% of market value - they're basically there to rip off the desperate and the ignorant, not good people.

Thanks, I smell a rat!

Further reading online, these guys are scum - lots of stories of suddenly dropping price at the last minute and forcing people in desperate situations to fold.

Thanks

be very careful of these companies -a client of ours had an amazing offer then a renegotiation of 25% on the day of exchange and the threat of a charge on the mortgage for the costs for a "failed transaction" when they refused.
