“Fast Sale Today - Courteous and professional team”
Written on: 01/11/2012 by JoshWillcock (1 review written)
Due to personal and health reasons I had to relocate closer to my daughter and had been struggling with an agent to sell my home for eight months before I came across several cash buying firms who offer a "no hassle" solution. Quite a few came across rather pushy but this company was much more upfront and transparent. My thanks to the courteous team and their professional approach to my situation. I would highly recommend them. (read more)

I had an investment property that I could no longer afford to take care of and just wanted to get as much equity out as possible with working with the hassle of viewings or agents and so on. Went with Fast Sale Today, they gave me an honest valuation and a decent cash price. Definitely worth the time! (read more)

“Fast Sale Today - Ideal in a slow market”
Written on: 18/10/2012 by LindaWilliams (1 review written)
My husband had been made redundant and we were struggling to meet the monthly payments. Needless to say we became desperate for a quick solution as the estate agents in our town kept on reminding us how slow the market is moving, so Fast Sale Today was the next best thing. Very impressed by how professional the team were and very happy with the service. (read more)

“Fast Sale Today made "An Offer within 24 hours! "”
Written on: 16/10/2012 by SabiaBIlkestonDerbyshire (1 review written)
I sold my house twice in the last month and both times my buyers were unable to complete due to low mortgage funding and buyers struggling with raising large deposits. I was unable to complete and relocate and furthermore was unable to drop my asking price any further. I phoned Fast Sale Today. Fast Sale Today made me a reasonable offer within 24 hours. Saving me time and money to go directly with the estate agent and waiting around for another buyer who may yet again have mortgage... (read more)

“A recommended alternative to estate agents”
Written on: 11/10/2012 by MichaelSergeant (1 review written)
The estate agents we used were basically wasting time with our listing. We had to constantly call them for updates and usually didn't receive a call back. We did not want to waste another 3 months on the market without any success and needed to move quickly so we got in touch with this company. They offered a reasonable cash purchase price and we were surprised how quickly it got done. A recommended alternative. (read more)

“Very reliable company. Give them a go!”
Written on: 13/09/2012 by LisaBeddoes (1 review written)
Having had our property on with two local agents we had little success in generating interest due to the works required. The agents were begging us to stay on but we just could not stand any more local 'investors' and their builders parading around our property offering silly prices. Fast Sale Today offered us a more reasonable figure for a quick sale and we had cash in the bank in little over a month's time! In our opinion they are very reliable and won't mess you about if they know they... (read more)

“The most competent and honest company around”
Written on: 03/09/2012 by MalikAhmed1978 (1 review written)
We had been looking to realise equity from our property and did not want to wait the usual 4 or 5 months on the open market, but were very wary about approaching a cash buying firm due to all the horror stories we've read online. After contacting several firms, Fast Sale Today stood out as the most competent and honest company and we went ahead with their cash offer. They were very efficient and provided us with a very speedy sale at a trade price, but the drop was well worth avoiding the... (read more)

“The best service ever”
Written on: 27/08/2012 by Phil_Anthropist (1 review written)
I'm happy to write and review that Fast Sale Today provided me with a service unlike any I'd experienced with estate agents. We had been on the market for almost a year without viewings and the offers we had received were just ridiculous considering we were marketing at a discounted price! With this company they took out the hassle and gave us a fair trade price which was very reasonable for the timescale, and we weren't looking to wait for much longer! You don't pay anything and they cover... (read more)

“Skip the fuss”
Written on: 23/08/2012 by JeanTimmins (1 review written)
Fast Sale Today really did what it says on the tin: we had been wanting to sell quickly without going to the local agents (who were rubbish in general) and this company did the trick. We had some equity to play with and considering the miserable results you usually get on today's open market we didn't feel like waiting months and months for a sale price not much different from what we could get for cash. The team were very professional and honest about the service and what we would expect to... (read more)

“Very thorough and efficient”

My girlfriend and I had been wanting to sell and invest into another buy-to-let opportunity, but our sale fell through at the last minute because the buyer couldn't get his finance in gear. Several alternatives later, we came across Fast Sale and gave them a go. We received an offer on the spot, signed the contract the same day and the following week had the survey done, solicitors working away and though we had a discounted price we had more than enough equity to work it in our favour. The... (read more)

“No more unreliable tenants”
Written on: 12/08/2012 by PaulWSmith63 (1 review written)
As any landlord will tell you letting agents can be a right pain to work with and I didn't look forward to getting another unreliable tenant in my property. I just wanted a quick sale to get my money out and invest into another venture. I didn't feel confident that the local agents could get me something workable within the next month or two so I got in touch with Fast Sale Today and these guys live up to their name! No rubbish paper trails, call back requests or slick agents, just money for... (read more)

“Desperate to move”
Written on: 10/08/2012 by NatalieGrimshaw (1 review written)
We were desperate to move to a bigger property when our first born arrived but the market was proving too slow for a sale. Desperate numerous calls to our agents for advice their usual response was to "wait it out" but obviously with a growing family we didn't see this as a viable option. We took a chance and tried Fast Sale Today and were very impressed with the efficiency with which they valued and offered a cash price for our property all in the same call (none of that "we'll call you...

“Closer to my daughter”
Written on: 07/08/2012 by SimonMcDonnell (1 review written)
I wanted to sell as I wanted to be closer to my daughter and faced the dreadful idea of waiting for an estate agency to sell it on the market for months. After the first two months it was clear to me that they simply could not get it sold quickly enough and I decided to approach this company, Fast Sale Today, to see if they could do it quicker. I had to accept a reasonable purchase price (it's below the market value) but the service and timescale made up for this as they had it done in under... (read more)

“Sold after 8-month wait”
Written on: 04/08/2012 by JamesandMaureen (1 review written)
We had been on the market for roughly 8 months and a handful of viewings, it wasn't very effective. Most of the viewers didn't come back to us with any feedback and the agents weren't very committed to returning our calls. The wife called Fast Sale Today and they provided us with a cash offer over the phone which we agreed to. Really didn't know what to expect until we started proceedings but it was straight forward and the staff there were really friendly and actually did return our calls!... (read more)

“Offloaded by-to-let property”
Written on: 02/08/2012 by lukeandrews1971 (1 review written)
I was looking to sell and get rid of a buy-to-let property I had in Bradford, and ideally wanted to get a buyer who would take on the property in its current condition as I didn't want to do it up again to sell. Fast Sale Today gave me a quick valuation and some advice on what I could achieve and I gave them a go. The price was a bit lower than what I could have maybe gotten on the open market but I wasn't prepared to leave it in the hands of agents who would keep me on for months and... (read more)

We were planning on getting equity out of our property in order to invest in a bed and breakfast option for our retirement, but had been on the market previously with two estate agencies who could not deliver on their promises. We had endured countless viewings without relevant feedback or matching advice from the agencies and decided to take a chance with Fast Sale Today. They secured us a sale within a few weeks and soon afterwards we had our cash in the bank to put into the B & B. We... (read more)

Written on: 29/07/2012 by PaulandGillSmith (1 review written)
We had inherited a property from mu husband's parents and took to the market, but our agents advised that they were struggling to secure interest from local buyers. We called Fast Sale Today and they provided a very in-depth assessment as to what we could achieve for the property in its current state and within a few weeks we were looking at the finish line with a good amount of equity to be realised for future investment. I can honestly say I wouldn't have thought that a company could pull... (read more)

We were preparing for retirement and had bought the perfect little cottage in Cyprus, but couldn't afford to continue keeping our property on the market for any longer than the six months we had endured with our local agents. While we were at first hesitant to speak to a cash buying firm considering all the bad press surrounding them, we were pleasantly surprised by Fast Sale Today. The staff were friendly and upfront, honest with their expectations and results. Whilst we did take a drop on... (read more)

“No more troublesome buyers”
Written on: 26/07/2012 by MichaelWoodhouse (1 review written)
Unfortunately, we experienced a seller's worst nightmare - my buyer with an estate agent pulled out at the last minute, literally a few days before completion! I was devastated as I had already resigned from my job and needed to relocate for a new position, and facing further embarrassment of possibly begging for my old job back. It's safe to say my world was turned upside down, seeing as my house was already packed and ready for the move we were facing a huge u-turn. Luckily I enquired with... (read more)

Written on: 24/07/2012 by lucyjanvier (1 review written)
When my ex and I decided to separate, the last thing we wanted was to sign up with an estate agent and wait several months to sell and the hassle of dealing with viewers. We wanted as little fuss as possible. I enquired with Fast Sale Today and got a quote, and what we liked was that they would be handling our case confidentially, no 'for sale' boards or anything so we could sell privately. After going ahead, there were only 2 visits and a few weeks later we completed - well worth it and I... (read more)

I was made redundant in the beginning of the year and very quickly the bills and mortgage payments were beginning to pile up. I didn't want to risk going on to the market and waiting months for my property to sell only to get into more financial difficulty, so I gave this company a go and they were very understanding and committed to providing me with a fast sale from the beginning. I accepted their offer (below market value) but it was enough to clear off the debt and get me cash in the... (read more)

“Much faster than estate agents”

We had been on the market for over 6 months without achieving much interest. Our estate agents were uninvolved and inefficient, not returning our calls or providing suitable feedback from viewings.

A few weeks later we completed without the usual hassle of buyers in a chain or mortgage issues and are now happily relocated with money in the bank. Would definitely recommend their... (read more)

“Take a look at when reviews were submitted!”
Written on: 11/06/2012
It's interesting to see all these great reviews for this company but when you look at the people reviewing the company they are mostly all done in April so either its an April fool, a coincidence or the purchased 32 houses in a very short space of time. Even more interesting is the fact that all the people who reviewed the service have only even made one review on this website! (read more)

“Smooth sale”
Written on: 19/04/2012 by Susans-review (1 review written)
The sale went through smoothly with Fast Sale Today. We accepted their offer, despite below market value, as we had to sell by end of April and that wasn't going to happen with the estate agents. There have been 3 houses on sale on our street for the last 4 months and none sold. We risked losing our home so something for us was better than nothing. We found them professional in how they conducted the sale. (read more)

We knew if we ever get repossessed the bank will sell the property in an auction for much less and add huge fees on top. After... (read more)
