5 years after our traumatic dealings with the Property Buying Company, it is sad to see other people are still experiencing similar problems. Despite being repeatedly lied to by a number of employees about the sale, we were eventually told the valuation didn’t match what they expected. Funnily, the same estate agent had valued it much higher just the week before. They pulled out completely and then put us in touch with a 3rd party (who just happened to be the brother of an employee) and lo and behold he could offer us cash at a further discounted rate. By this point, after numerous delays, we felt committed to buying the house we had placed an offer on, and didn’t want to risk losing it. We felt trapped, cheated and conned. The Property Ombudsman agreed with us when they instructed for us to be paid some compensation. Sadly this in no way made up for what we lost. Avoid this company at all costs.
