Found the company to be upfront and honest … they chose not to make us an offer on our property but explained their decision and were apologetic at not being able to help.

Total scam artists

My property is valued at and worth £850,000. These amateur muppets offered £560,00. They are total scam artists and nobody in their right mind will use them

When making our offers we look at sites like Rightmove to see the marketing history of the property and others like it. We based our indicative offer on the information we found which showed a lower previous asking price. We are always upfront that our offer will be c20% lower than market value and we know our offer won't be right for everyone. We never pressure anyone into selling to us and we wish you the best of luck with your sale.

A good experience

Dorothy was extremely helpful and sympathetic to our situation. The offer was below market value, but that is to be expected as they need to make a profit. While our situation has improved again (as the lost house buyer has returned) if we find we need a house buying service after all, this is the company we will use.

Great experience so far

I have been communicating with Dorothy. She has been a pleasure to talk to - clear and to the point without being pushy. Whilst we are not using this service at this point in time, should we need plan B, we shall definitely go forward with this company

Nice experience. Very polite.

As with many, unfortunately they were not able to offer me anything close to what I required but Sue, who dealt with my enquiry was polite, knowledgeable and extremely sympathetic to our situation. No pushy hard sell. Left with a very good impression of the company.

The customer service was excellent

The customer service was excellent, however i believe in results and achievements in customer service. The staff member for HBB did not meet my expectations in fact didn't achieve any result for HBB and myself

Helpful experience

Initial contact was positive,straightforward taking time to listen in a genuine manner.
Didn’t come back with the best offer and due to change of circumstance means cannot go any further but they are genuine along with being helpful.
If things change would consider re-contacting them

Absolutely amazing company to sell your home!

Absolutely amazing company to sell your home to!
Having had a terrible experience with The Property Buying Company I found House Buyer Bereau through The Advisory.
From the first moment I spoke to Dorothy at HBB I felt at ease, she is very professional and very honest.
HBB have the money available to buy your property in a timescale to suit you (there are only one or two genuine cash property buying companies out there!).
HBB set up the solicitors and again the solicitors they use are very professional.
I would highly recommend HBB to anyone looking to sell there house fast.

Expensive but honest....

This is probably one of the most expensive ways to sell your house. They will offer 80-85% of the market value - a huge slice of your value. However, at least they were honest about it as one of only two companies that were recommended by an independent website. So, I won't be using their services but I appreciated them being straighforward about it.

Good experience

Spoke to Dorothy a few times and received a few emails. All done professionally and courteously, no flannel which is just what you want. Felt trustworthy. In the end I felt the offer wasn’t enough for me at this point but will keep the contact details should I change my mind.

Professional upfront and honest.

My enquiry was dealt with professionally by Dorothy, who explained the company's procedures for my house purchase which was presented clearly to me in an open and honest way. Whilst I decided not to proceed with the offer on the table at this time I consider this company to be up there with the better ones specialising in this hit and miss market.

I was very impressed with HBB

I was very impressed with HBB , very professional and very helpful and at no stage did they try to pressure or bully in anyway, even though I won’t be using HBB services at this moment in time they made it clear I would be more than welcomed back at a later date, I would definitely recommend this company.

Straightforward and efficient

Although we decided not to take up the offer to purchase our house, we could not fault the service provided. Everything was explained clearly, and all procedures were carried out efficiently.
Dorothy has a friendly manner and was always ready to answer queries and give clear explanations.
