Buy My Home Offers Reviews

Who Are Buy My Home Offers?

Buy My Home Offers are a trading name of Hubbil. They advertise themselves as a broker that can connect homeowners with buyers.

What services do Buy My Home Offers provide?

Buy My Home Offers/Hubbil are a property broker. They say they can connect you with different buyers, including landlords, property investors, property-buying companies and individual buyers. You can use the service for free if you just want to get two offers or pay £12 to get a minimum of four offers.

What is the buying process for Buy My Home Offers?

Buy My Home Offers/Hubbil are honest in saying they do not buy properties.

The service they offer is to connect you with other individuals and companies who may be able to buy your property.

You provide Buy My Home Offers with your address, and they will gather offers from different buyers.

If you choose to accept an offer from one of the buyers they connect you with, an estate agent will be asked to value your property. After this valuation has taken place, you will be made a formal offer. Once you’ve accepted the formal offer, a RICS homebuyer survey will be booked.

Buy My Home Offers do say that the offer on your property can be reduced or withdrawn if either the valuation or survey identify anything that may impact the value of your property.

How much below market value do Buy My Home Offers offer?

It’s unclear how much below market value you can expect offers from Buy My Home Offers to come in.

Buy My Home Offers say their buyers are a mixture of landlords, investors, property-buying companies and individual buyers. We can assume that any buyer through a broker will be paying less than you’d achieve on the open market, but how much less is unclear. Any legitimate property-buying company with the cash funds to buy your property directly would pay between 80% and 85% of market value.

The terms listed on their website state that Buy My Home Offers/Hubbil earn a fee for each lead they pass on to buyers, and another fee if you go on to sell your property to them. Any buyer will consider these fees when deciding how much they want to pay for your property, so although promoted as a fee-free service, the payment Buy My Home Offers receive will be a factor in what level of offers you receive.

Pros and Cons of Buy My Home Offers

Pros

  • UK-based company
  • Honest about being a property broker and not buying properties themselves

Cons

  • As a broker, Buy My Home Offers/Hubbil do not buy the property themselves. This means they are unable to make you any promises around how quickly your property will sell or what price you’ll achieve for it.
  • Buy My Home Offers’ website suggests that all their buyers are checked and regulated. This is, unfortunately, misleading. The property-buying industry is unregulated.

The three organisations mentioned on their website – RICS, The Property Ombudsman and National Association of Property Buyers – do not have any power to regulate this type of  service.

RICS only regulate property surveyors

The Property Ombudsman is a redress scheme that can investigate complaints against estate agents, letting agents and property managers, but as none of these would be associated with a private sale of this nature, they would be unable to offer you any support.

The National Association of Property Buyers is a voluntary association. They set out a code of practice and aim to improve the standard of service provided by property-buying companies, but have no legal authority to regulate the industry or provide support for any disputes.

  • If buyers know they are competing against each other, they are likely to come in high. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean that’s the price you’ll receive if you do end up selling your property to them. The website says that offers may be reduced or withdrawn if the valuation or survey identify something that may have a detrimental impact on the property value. Once Buy My Home Offers have introduced you to the buyers, your contact with them ends. This means you have no comeback if you sign a contract and then the buyer drops the price.

This means we're unable to see their annual turnover. Their latest accounts on Companies House show they have just £21,318 cash in the bank. This would suggest they're a small-scale company.
Are they a member of any professional associations or redress schemes? Yes, Quick Move Now are members of The Property Ombudsman (TPO) and the National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB) No, Buy My Home Offers/Hubbil do not appear to be members of any professional associations or redress schemes.
Is the company registration number available on the website? Yes Yes

Is Buy My Home Offers legit? - Our verdict

Buy My Home Offers make it clear on their website that they don’t buy houses. This is quite unusual for a property brokering company.

Whilst their honesty is refreshing, we do have some big concerns.

With Buy My House Offers/Hubbil simply acting as a broker, they will provide little support once you’ve received your offers. This means you will have no protection or support if something goes wrong with the sale or you find the buyer is not as reputable as you’d hoped. The organisations that Buy My Home Offers/Hubbil claim regulate their buyers are not relevant to the service they provide and have no regulatory power. In the terms listed on Buy My Home Offers’ website, they state that they do not comprehensively vet, check or audit their suppliers (the buyers). This means any homeowner considering this option should do so exercising extreme caution.

It’s also important to make sure you don’t sign any contracts tying you into selling to the buyer. The only paperwork you should be signing is the normal property transfer contract that is used for any property sale. This will come directly from your solicitor and not anyone else.

The danger of signing any other contract or agreement is that you can be tied into selling to a company, which won’t be in your interest. Rogue companies are known to tie you in with contracts or agreements that are expensive to get out of and then drop the agreed purchase price. This leaves sellers trapped. You could be left with the choice of either accepting a very low offer (usually around 50-60% of market value) or paying a big bill to buy yourself out of the contract. We are not accusing Buy My Home Offers’ buyers of this type of practice, but the best way to protect yourself is to not sign these types of contracts or agreements.

Are Buy My Home Offers any good?

We couldn’t find any customer reviews for Buy My Home Offers or the company behind the brand – Hubbil – so it’s impossible for us to assess whether they’re any good.

Our big worry is that this type of service gives you very little protection if things don’t go as planned. If you sell directly to a cash home-buying company, you’re able to do your due diligence, carefully researching the company’s financial records, credentials and history. That simply isn’t possible if the person you’re selling to is a landlord or a private investor. Buy My Home Offers make it clear on their website that the service they offer is simply to introduce you to the buyer. Beyond that point, they take no responsibility. This could leave you in a precarious position.

Buy My Home Offers/Hubbil claim that their buyers are checked and regulated. Unfortunately, that’s not possible in an unregulated market. The organisations referred to on the website – Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, The Property Ombudsman and National Association of Property Buyers – do not regulate property buying.

    Read more on how much we pay and why

  • How will you value my property?

    Quick Move Now carry out a full in-depth market appraisal. This will include valuations by independent local estate agents and a thorough assessment of the local property market. We are always honest and transparent about how we reach our figures and the evidence provided during the local estate agent valuation.

  • How much will you pay for my property?

    You can expect any genuine cash buying company to pay 80-85% of market value.

    Quick Move Now do not work to set discounts as we assess each property on it’s individual merit, but we will always make you the best offer we can.

  • Why do you buy at a discount?

    As a business, it is impossible for Quick Move Now to pay full market value for your property. This will be the same for any genuine cash home-buying company. Our discount covers several business expenses, including:

    • Higher level stamp duty
    • Legal fees
    • Business overheads
    • Cost of ownership

  • How do I know the offer is fair?

    Our formal offers are based on local independent estate agent valuations.

    As founding members of the National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB), honesty and transparency are integral to our business. Quick Move Now are also monitored by The Property Ombudsman and always follow their Code of Practice for Residential Property Buying Companies.

  • Will you carry out a survey before making me a cash offer?

    Quick Move Now do not carry out a property survey until our offer has been accepted (as with any open market sale).

  • How do I know you won’t change your offer at the last minute?

    All our formal offers are subject to survey. A serious structural issue found at the point of survey would be the only circumstance in which we would ever reduce our formal offer, but this is very unlikely and happens very rarely.

    Because Quick Move Now never ties you into using our services, if we are forced to reduce our offer you will be free to walk away without any cost or obligation.

  • Another company has made me a better offer. Will you match it?

    There are many companies claiming to be genuine companies who do not have the funds to buy your property directly. These companies will make you an attractive offer to tie you in, ask you to sign a contract, and then reduce their offer. It’s not usual for these companies to end up paying around 50-60% of market value.

    Quick Move Now put a lot of time and effort into assessing properties to ensure the offer we make you is fair, but we are always happy to speak to you if you have received a higher offer from another company.

    We’ve also gathered information on some of the most recognised names in the quick house sale industry which you may find helpful.

  • Do you charge any fees for your property buying service?

    No. Quick Move Now never charge any fees for our property buying service.

  • What’s the process for selling a property to Quick Move Now?

    Quick Move Now's property buying service includes 4 simple steps:

    1. Contact our team and provide some basic property information to receive an initial indicative offer.
    2. After an independent valuation, we’ll make you a free, no-obligation formal cash offer.
    3. If you choose to accept our formal cash offer, you will decide on your sale completion date.
    4. On your chosen completion date, the sale will complete and the money will be transferred to you.

  • Do you buy directly or will you connect me with investors?

    Quick Move Now only buy directly with our own cash funds. Any company that connects you with investors will be unable to offer any guarantees around price or timescale.

  • Will you need to visit my property in order to make me a cash offer?

    To make the best offer possible, we usually require a local estate agent to visit and complete an appraisal of your property.

    This is a short visit and will be arranged at a time to suit you.

    The only other property visits required would be the usual property survey and EPC assessment (if you don’t have a valid EPC).

  • Will there be lots of paperwork to sign?

    No, the paperwork you will be required to sign is the same to what you'd encounter in a traditional open market sale

  • Will I be tied in with a contract?

    Absolutely not! Quick Move Now NEVER ask our customers to sign anything that ties them into using us.

    We strongly advise customers to avoid any tie-in contracts or agreements. Companies that use these types of contracts are usually brokers rather than genuine cash buyers. This means they will try to connect you with investors or open market buyers, but will be unable to offer you any certainty around price or timescale. This removes all benefits associated with selling to a genuine cash home buyer, which are the speed and certainty they can offer.

    As with any property sale, there will be the usual legal property transfer documents for you to sign, but these will be drawn up by your solicitor, not the company.

  • How do I know Quick Move Now are genuine cash homebuyers?

    The easiest way to assess whether a company is buying properties directly is to check their company accounts on Companies House – the government register of companies.

    Lots of companies claim to be able to buy your property directly, but they should have accounts to back this up. If you need help with this, you can check out our ‘quick sale’ company review pages.

    Quick Move Now are transparent all the way through the process. Every property we buy is bought directly with our own cash funds and we are always happy to provide proof of funds so you know we have the money available to make good on our promises. We are a founding member of the National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB) and are monitored by The Property Ombudsman.

  • Are Quick Move Now regulated?

    No, despite Quick Move Now's best efforts the entire property-buying industry remains unregulated. Any company that suggests otherwise should be avoided. We are founding members of the National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB) and are monitored by The Property Ombudsman.

  • How long do I have to consider the cash offer?

    Quick Move Now's formal cash offers are valid for 7 days. If you need longer to think about it, that’s not a problem. We will simply need to do a quick reassessment of the local property market to ensure nothing has changed before we reconfirm the offer to you.

  • If I accept your offer, how long will it take to complete?

    If you accept our formal offer, you will be in complete control of the timescales. You simply tell us which date you’d like the sale to complete, and we’ll do the rest! Quick Move Now can buy in as little as 7 days if required.

  • Will I have one point of contact at Quick Move Now or have to speak to lots of different people?

    When you first contact Quick Move Now, you will speak to one of our friendly, helpful Client Account Managers. They will help to assess whether our service is the right fit for your circumstances.

    Once you reach the point of receiving a formal offer from us, you will be passed on to our Purchasing Director, who will then support you all the way through to sale completion.

  • How quickly will I receive my payment?

    The money will be transferred on the day your sale completes, which can be as quickly as 7 days after offer acceptance if required.

    Quick Move Now can pay a deposit on exchange of contracts to assist with your moving costs, if that’s something you would find helpful.

  • Will I need a solicitor?

    Yes, you will need to instruct a solicitor to act on your behalf. Quick Move Now can either recommend a reputable solicitor or you may choose your own.

  • What happens if I have a mortgage or other loan on my property?

    As long as the sale price covers your outstanding mortgage and any loans on the property, this won’t be a problem.

    All money is handled through your solicitor, who will ensure the outstanding mortgage and any other secured debts are repaid from the proceeds of the sale. Your solicitor will then transfer the remaining balance to your account.

  • What type of property can you buy?

    Quick Move Now can buy all different types of residential properties. From 1-bedroom flats to large detached family homes.

    Find out more about what we buy here

    Unfortunately, we do not currently buy age-restricted properties.

  • Can you buy anywhere in the UK?

    We currently buy properties in any area of England or Wales. Unfortunately, Quick Move Now do not buy properties in Scotland or Northern Ireland.

  • Will the sale be discreet?

    Yes, it will. There will be no ‘for sale’ signs or online property listings. The only people who will know about the sale will be those directly involved with it.

  • Can I sell to Quick Move Now if I’m already on the market with an estate agent?

    Yes, you can. You’ll need to check the terms of your contract with the estate agent, but this is something Quick Move Now can help you with.

    This means you can avoid the usual financial repercussions of having a property repossession on your financial record.

  • Can Quick Move Now buy tenanted properties?

    Quick Move Now require properties to be vacant at the point of sale, but we can make an offer while your property is tenanted.

    If you want to accept our offer, you will need to ensure your tenant moves out before we exchange contracts.

  • Can you buy ex-local authority properties?

    Yes. Quick Move Now are happy to consider ex-local authority properties.

  • Are there any situations in which Quick Move Now can’t make an offer on a property?

    Some circumstances would prevent Quick Move Now from being able to make an offer, including:

    • Unmortgageable properties
    • Properties where we’re unable to accurately ascertain market value
    • Where the property owner is unable to ensure the property will be vacant by exchange of contracts
    • If there are other factors that make a property unreasonably high-risk for us to re-sell
  • I’m not in a rush. Can I still sell my property to Quick Move Now?
