STEER WELL CLEAR! The Property Buying company do not buy homes with there own cash - well not from my bad experience with them. Before you sign up with The Property Buying Company my best possible advice is click the 1 star reviews and take note of those rather than the 5 star reviews. The 5 star reviews are generally from people who have had an initial call with Grant Bishop not from people who have gone through the full process. My experience with the Property Buying Company: - The initial call to Grant was very positive and a lady came out to visit my property to provide a valuation - In November 2023 I signed up with The Property Buying Company with a completion date of 22.12.2023 - January 2024 chase chase chase - getting ghosted by Adam (Commercial Director) - February 2024 and still no completion and told "your near the top of the queue" "we are nearly getting it over the line" - 6th February I inform TPBC that I am no longer selling to them. I signed up to another house buying company and within a day of signing up to the other company Adam was straight on the phone trying to apologise for all the delays and coming out with excuse after excuse and asking me if I still wanted to sell to them they would get it over the line.......No! after reading other similar reviews of being strung along why would I! TPBC basically sign you up, tie you in, put a unilateral notice on your property with the land registry and try to find an investor for your property, if you are lucky they might find you one, if you are not so lucky, like many others your just be strung along for months. There are only a couple of genuine cash property buying companies out there who buy properties with there own money, TPBC are not one of them. Your best to put your property on the open market and drop the value if you cannot sell at market value. Unfortunately the quick buying house market is unregulated and companies like TPBC thrive on it, there are so many false claims and mis-advertising on there website. I hope you find this honest review useful.

Hello Stuart, You also shared your review on Trustpilot, so we'll share our reply to that one here: Hello Stuart, Firstly we’re sorry for the delayed reply, we wanted to make sure we got all the facts straight before doing so as there were a few complexities within your process. To mention your point about our reviews, you will see a mix of customers in all stages of the journey throughout both our 1 & 5 star reviews. Reviews are always something we take seriously, and we want to know at all parts of the journey on selling your home with us what’s gone right & what’s gone wrong, so we can continue to improve our service for future customers. Now on your highlighted points, as you rightly mention in your timeline of events there was a significant delay. What you neglected to mention was that the property was unmortgageable due to spray foam, which you had been aware of before agreeing to sell to us, but did not divulge in any of our conversations. Regardless, these miscommunications happen and we wanted to proceed but by leveraging an alternative investor service that we offer to help you achieve your original agreed price, as with the issue that came to light it didn’t quite work for us. At which point you decided that you wanted to explore other options, stating that you wanted to carry out the work to the property yourself to try and get a higher price. That’s fair enough, and we agreed to go our separate ways on this. We truly feel that we provided all the support we could given the situation – we always make a point before anyone signs a contract with ourselves that being honest and transparent, divulging all the information about the property beforehand is paramount in ensuring that we can provide an accurate offer and don’t have to disappoint you on receipt of the survey. We also note that your house is SSTC on the open market, but at an OIEO price very close to that of a cash buyer's offer, which of course is below market value. I do hope that highlights the issues and the severity, providing a bit more understanding of our position. We wish you all the best in the future and do genuinely hope your sale goes through without issue. Best wishes, TPBC
