Property-Obsessed Pooch Helps Brits Navigate Risky Fast Home Buyers

Now I’m no puppy. But I’ve seen too many of my two-legged friends fall prey to the cunning tactics of the UK’s ‘fast home buying’ companies.

There are some sly cats behind those companies…

‘Sell your home for cash now!’ they purr in those hissing little ads.

‘Get money in your account in 10 days’!

And there’s a fair bit of smoke and mirrors behind those seductive meeows.

Those cat burglars will try to creep into your home by chucking you a chilli pepper – yuck!

Some of the stories we’ve heard have made me and my fellow canines howl with grief : (

There was Mr and Mrs Walker from Manchester who were offered £265,000 for a £300,000 property. They were happy to accept this for a quick sale because they needed to raise some funds and pay off their mortgage so they could downsize.

They were promised the money in 3 weeks from a ‘cash buyer’ and asked to sign a contract which put a leash around their necks.

Yelp - I know how that feels!

Months later and they’d received nothing.

Their new owner didn’t even throw them a bone.

Eventually the same ‘fast home buyer’ tried to offer them £185,000 for their home valued at £300,000, fully aware they were facing financial hardship with another 6 months on the clock.

And the buyer didn’t even have ‘cash in hand’ as they’d claimed.

Those fast home buying cats have no morals I tell you!

That’s just one of many examples.

So get on the dog and bone and call Property Sale Watchdog to see if we can help you find one of Britain’s few legitimate fast home buyers.

Or go fetch that toy you humans like to play with and read our in-depth reviews and expert guides.

My clever colleague Francis (Detective Dog) has checked those fast home buying companies against no less than 17 criteria to sniff out who you can trust.

And we don’t take the companies’ word for it – Francis does his own digging.

His cousin Felix is also a great sniffer and checks company director and financial records.

That’s to see if those companies really buy homes for cash or if they’re just pussyfooting around to ambush you.

Felix uncovers a fair bit of mud on those companies when he digs around!

They pass everything on to Sheila the poodle back in the office who audits our reviews. Sheila is the brains of our operation - nothing gets past her!

And one more thing.

Those fast home buyers always say ‘I’ll give you a free cash valuation’ of your home. But they never give you that instantly. It’s only AFTER they have you cornered all by yourself they call you on the dog and bone…

Then you’re suddenly attacked by a couple of stray cats who want to make themselves at home at your place!

So instead of filling out your details at a handful of those dodgy cats’ websites why not use Property Sale Watchdog’s ‘Safe Connect’ feature?

We’ll walk you through your options with a fully-vetted partner.

A company we’ve checked out that is fully legit and passes our 17 point check.

We make sure there are real humans there, not just shady cats!

And we also provide an online Fast Property Sale Configurator on our website which gives you a brutally honest valuation of your home BEFORE you talk to anyone.

It breaks down how those fast home buyers reach their valuation – the ins and outs if you like. So you know how they think.

And they can’t use their catty scare tactics on you because you’ll be well-informed!

Property Sale Watchdog’s Fast Property Sale Configurator is the first AI-powered tool which gives you a brutally honest fast home sale valuation instantly without giving your data to multiple websites.

Take it for a walk and see for yourself: should never speak to those fast home buyer companies without using our free tools or reading our expert guides and in-depth fast home buyer reviews.

And remember: BEWARE OF THE CAT who offers to buy your home quickly for is not an official or regulatory body. We are a private website that reviews fast home buying companies and offers resources to homeowners to avoid falling prey to unethical fast home buyers. While we sometimes refer people to vetted companies who pass our tests, all reviews are independently compiled using external data based on a 17 point checklist. Each review takes several weeks to put together because we audit everything we can. The fast home buying sector in the UK is unregulated and our mission is to empower consumers with solid, verifiable information.
