Buy My House Experts customer reviews

Buy My House Experts Reviews Trustpilot

Buy My House Experts Trustpilot review score: Buy My House Experts have a Trustpilot score of 4.6/5, based on 102 customer reviews.

Although their overall Trustpilot score is quite high, Buy My House Experts’ more negative reviews do raise some concerning points. All of their negative reviews seem to focus on 3 key areas:

  • Offer being reduced at the last minute
  • Sale taking significantly longer than promised
  • Problems with communication

Many of the negative reviews claim Buy My House Experts’ offer was lowered at the last minute. Several of them claim the offer was reduced on the day the sale was due to complete.

Examples of last minute price reductions in Buy My House Experts’ Trustpilot reviews include:

  • Price dropped by £50,000 2 days before exchange
  • Sale dragged out for months, then on day of completion the offer was lowered by £40,000
  • Reduced offer on completion day and homeowner felt pressured into accepting the lower offer
  • 3 days before agreed moving day the offer was lowered by 20%
  • Property owner received a good initial offer, but it was dropped by £20,000 during sale process and another £20,000 at the point of exchanging contracts
  • Offer lowered by 12.5% at the last minute

This is something that is unfortunately quite common with less reputable companies. Despite our best efforts, the property buying industry remains unregulated. This means unscrupulous companies can get away with reducing their offer at the 11th hour, when homeowners feel under huge pressure to accept through fear of losing their onward move or getting landed with legal fees for an unsuccessful sale. If you’re considering using any company that has customer reviews suggesting they reduce their offers just before completion, we would recommend exercising extreme caution.

We do also have some questions about how genuine some of Buy My House Experts’ more positive reviews are, due to some very unusual behaviour. Members of  the public are either usually the type of person to leave company reviews or not. If they leave reviews for one company, you would generally expect to see that they’ve also left reviews for other companies or services. Strangely, 87 of the 90 5-star reviews left for Buy My House Experts were left by people who only left that one review. This is very unusual.
