I couldn't make the deal work for me in the end, however if anyone is looking to use a quick buying company I would certainly recommend House Buy Fast. I liaised with Chris Lunson who was friendly, efficient and professional, he took time to explain the process to me and was very trustworthy. HBF did make the best offer from the number of companies I contacted and unlike other companies, Chris did not attempt to pressure me into the sale or overload me with information, he only sought to help me through the process and was accepting of my decision in the end. If anyone wishes to use a quick buying company, I would not hesitate to recommend using House Buy Fast.

HBF are in the process of buying are house after we were let down bad by another house buying Company that messed us around and tried to low ball us I called Duncan from HBF and he set everything up Jonathan and Jeff come to the property the next day and agreed to buy the property now things are moving forward and are nightmare will soon be over (long story) and hope to complete very soon will update when sale is done but so far they are the best and easiest to deal with and what they offer is what you get not like others that cut the offer down

We contacted House Buy Fast about selling our house when our purchaser let us down for the third time. Ducan Fretter made us a fair offer, arranged all the surveys and we Completed in 10 days. I would definitely recommend House Buy Fast to anyone wanting to sell their property in a hurry.
Anne Hetherington
I needed to sell within a limited time frame. House Buy Fast was able to complete within the time I had. I never had to contact them for information as they were in regular contact with me. They kept me informed every step of the way and I found all the staff very friendly and professional.
Marilyn Kania
My experience @ House Buy Fast gave me piece of mind, as at the time I had 2 buyers for my house pull out just as we were about to exchange contracts which left me devistated. I contacted House Buy Fast & they were so very helpful & friendly. Duncan quickly did all the searches within a couple of days which put my mind at ease, but unfortunately for them the original buyer from the estate agents decided to go ahead with the purchase after all. Duncan was very understanding and pleased for me which went a long way in my mind after all the work he had put in so quickly. Think you so very House Buy Fast.
Sandra O'Neill
Fantastic service. From our very first telephone conversation to the day the sale was closed. Extremely professional. Every detail was explained thoroughly and we never had to wait more than a couple of hours for our phone call/email to be returned. Highly recommended.
Sharon Jarrett
Having had our third buyer pull out just before exchange, with our dream house in jeopardy if we didn't proceed with the move, we contacted House Buy Fast for their advice. Duncan was professional and sympathetic and assured me that the sale of our property would be achieved in time for us to purchase our new home. I cannot fault the service or delivery and would recommend this company wholeheartedly.
Robert Crisp
I extracted this comment from my email to them after the process has completed :- I would also like to thank you how you and your company handled the whole process, apart from the 31st of March time crunch it all went very smoothly and with out stress or pain. It seems to be a industry patter to say watch out for the other firms they might make last minute changes to the deal, so I am very grateful that this went smoothly. Also I think that the license to stay and early completion really helped with the stress levels.
Gregg Travers
We discovered our dream house but, to buy it we needed a very quick move because the seller was moving into a rental property and there was no chain. House buy fast provided us with the means to do just that. They were able to give us the amount we needed very quickly and impressed our solicitor as well by there speed and efficiency.
Phyllis Pearmund
I can't speak highly enough of this company. Property cash buyers often get a bad press and there are rogue ones out there but not Housebuyfast. From the very first conversation Mario was honest and upfront about how they operate and I was never mislead nor deceived. I knew exactly what I was agreeing to. If you are prepared to take 80% of market value for a quick sale or have a "problem" property then this company will buy it and pay all legal fees.

I wanted a quick sale and agreed a fair price for our flat. All went very smoothly (they even organise a home visit for identity checks so you don't have to send original documents through the post) and a survey carried out. In the end, because of change of circumstances, we didn't complete the sale but I would definitely use this company in preference to an estate agent if I needed a quick sale.

The whole process was easy, straightforward and stress free. So much better than using an estate agent. Mario was friendly, professional and courteous at all times and never exerted any pressure, he left it to me to make my own decisions. I liked his straight talking style! Overall an excellent company to do business with.

Very happy with the service I recieved. Spoke with just 1 person who had researched my property very well prior to caling me. He had considered the variants of simular properties in my area before making an offer.
Jazeys Jeveret
Duncan at House Buy Fast was superb to deal with from start to finish. We were in a very difficult situation where we had to sell our family home as my husband was poorly and we had to do this within two weeks. I can not fault Duncan he kept me up to date all along and got us the price we needed and in the time we needed. Thank you Pam
