“Excellent, Hassle Free Sale!”
★★★★★
written by 202Loomis on 03/10/2014
The adviser handled the sale of my house so efficiently. From start to finish I was overly impressed. Selling a house can be very stressful but with this company I found the whole process smooth. The solicitors provided were quick and my fees were covered. I sold under value (around 85%) but it included all fees. Thanks!

“AVOID AVOID AVOID!!”
★☆☆☆☆
written by Annebursens on 23/04/2014
Short and simple facts: Property value £90000, the offer they made £75000, after 2 surveys they dropped offer to £61000. Final amount paid £60000, they held on to the last £1000 claiming it would take more than that to do up the property .... £30000 profit was obviously not enough for them so they took my last £1000 of me. A company of charlatans who take advantage of people in a desperate position. Impossible to get hold of Robbie du Toit when calling from my phone but he would pick up the phone when using a friend's phone. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Hello, sorry I only just saw your request.
I wonder whether too much time has elapsed now.
I would rather not give my details via this forum as I have absolutely no trust in the company.
If you give me your details I could contact you directly.
Thank you and kind regards.

“Convenient and quick”
★★★★☆
written by stuart0102 on 24/11/2013
Fast Sale Today posted a leaflet in our postbox offering cash for our home. We had to sell quickly because of a new job offer my partner got down south. We had to move quickly to avoid stress of having a vacant property to sell after moving so we contacted the company. The service was surprisingly quick, we got an offer lower than we would have liked but overall I found the service a great alternative to that of estate agents. It was quick,simple and they even paid our solicitor fees. Stuart and Lisa

“Selling tenanted property”
★★★★☆
written by brandon0102 on 23/11/2013
Selling our tenanted property was not easy. We tried multiple local agents but the buyers always got put off by the tenants who live in an untidy manner which did not help. After seeing an advert on the TV we thought we would try a cash buying firm. We contacted a few and of the lot we found Fast Sale Today to be professional. I would definitely refer Fast Sale Today to people we know who are looking for a quick sale. Brandon

“Guaranteed sale for peace of mind”
★★★★★
written by mike8281 on 22/11/2013
I had tried using an online estate agent to sell my house however I found after paying them their fee upfront,their motivation was gone. We had to constantly chase and email and call to get updates and the service was appalling. We needed to sell fast as the mortgage was getting hard to pay so we contacted Fast Sale Today after seeing them on the TV. We had a call back and offer on the same day, the next day we met them at our house and had a survey done. The sale completed in 3 weeks and both me and my husband were delighted with the outcome.We did sell below the value but for us it was perfect because there was a guaranteed cash offer that we could rely on. Mr Mike

“Good choice”
★★★☆☆
written by owen7271 on 20/11/2013
We contacted home buyer companies to get a quick sale because we were in arrears. Some of them were rude and offered very low prices. I must be honest we did not like any of them but decided to go with Fast Sale Today. Occasionally we struggled to get the answers we needed. The sale did complete quickly and in fairness to the guys, they did what they said they would do. We have now gotten rid of our debts and are so much happier and relaxed in our new rental property.

“Took longer than promised”
★★☆☆☆
written by darraugh9291 on 13/11/2013
Fast Sale Today said they would get our sale done quickly. We have a leasehold flat we sold and the sale took 11 weeks! They told us it would be 2-4 weeks. Our managing agent held the sale up but I don't understand why they couldn't just complete without the leasehold answers. We were frustrated about the sale but not sure who was to blame - either the managing agent or the home buyers. After a stressful 3 months we got out of our flat and have now moved on to our new house which we are excited about. Mr.Darraugh

Unfortunately we decided to not sell in the end due to personal circumstances, but Fast Sale Today's offer was very fair and their service very professional. You can change your mind down the line so there's no risk involved but theirs is a service worth looking into. Mrs Gilbert

“price lower than I wanted”
★★★☆☆
written by feltman5651 on 31/10/2013
Spent a long time on market with agents, sad to take a lower price as we do love this house but can't afford the mortgage and time just ticking by with the agents. Thanks for the fast service though, we appreciate it. Mr and Mrs Feltman

Our sale didn't complete unfortunately, we decided we would try the market again as we're not really in a rush to sell and need as much as possible for the mortgage etc. so sorry but highly recommend the service anyway, very prompt response and fair offers. Mr Burton

“good way out of slow market”
★★★★☆
written by naylor7871 on 28/10/2013
Can't recommend Fast Sale Today enough. Reading all the other reviews on here I can honestly say I feel the same, you don't have to proceed on the offer either so they don't try to push you into it and I'm glad I did or else I'd still be sitting on the market waiting for something/someone to happen. Mr Naylor

written by hill9791 on 26/10/2013
There are a lot of these companies online these days so it can get a bit confusing and we almost went with another one because we were just fed up with disappointing offers but glad we decided to call one more. Their offer was based on what properties are realistically selling for so no"made up on the spot" offers without reason. Mr Hill

Good cash offer on the spot, very competitive as we spoke to a few companies and fast sale was happy to make the offer work for us and what we needed. Just be honest with them about what you want and they'll tell you what they can do, then its up to you. Completed yesterday without issues. Mrs Farrell

Sale fell through as my husband decided against his job we were relocating for,but this company was quick to offer and rolled out the service immediately.No delays or funny business with fees etc. Highly recommend if you're avoiding the market. Mr and Mrs Da Costa

“secure sale”
★★★★☆
written by beaumont786 on 22/10/2013
Came back to this company after trying on of their competitors because the offer was higher,safe to say that was a mistake as they obviously rope you in with false figures and promises. I do wish I didn't have to sell for less than what I paid for, but in this market it's always up in the air with prices anyway. Mr Beaumont

“fair trade price”
★★★☆☆
written by smith_fd on 13/10/2013
So not exactly as quick as I thought it would be, I guess it works out differently for everybody but the offer was fair (it's a "trade price" offer so not market value) but does what it says on the tin so to speak, and that's what I was looking for. Mrs Smith

“fast response”
★★★★☆
written by Gallagher3231 on 12/10/2013
Definitely give them a call, I got a higher offer than two other so-called "cash buyers" who clearly are only in it to convince you to accept a ridiculous offer. Also the agent I dealt with was very quick to call me back whenever I needed an update, they treat you properly. Mrs Gallagher

“they do what they promise”
★★★☆☆
written by keller3231 on 10/10/2013
somewhat disappointed with the offer as I thought it would be a bit closer to market value, but for lack of better words you get what you expect and it was very swift and painless at least. Many thanks. Mrs Keller

Fastsaletoday's Response to Annebursens's Review
Written on: 13/09/2014
Hi,
It is disappointing to hear that you feel dissatisfied with our service - as we value all of our customers input I would like to provide a thorough response. Firstly, the value of any property can be a very sensitive issue as it often represents the value of somebody’s home – what we always try to help our customers understand however is that the real value of a property is simply what it can realistically be sold for over a sensible timeframe. As the market was very slow in your area our analysts felt nervous that the property would take a long time to sell and therefore there was added risk – unfortunately from our perspective this has come true and through taking a chance in buying your property and providing a solution for you we have not yet been able to resell your property – in fact the highest offer we have had is £70,000 which is of course way off the valuation of £90,000. With all the fees we have had to pay on your behalf we will therefore making very little if any profit. Secondly, we hold back a retention of £1,000 when we acquire any property as the speed in which we buy property is extremely quick, hence why it is a useful service, so we don’t get a chance to check that everything inside the property is ok. We were advised that there was damage inside the property after you left and that the radiators had been physically removed – we therefore spent almost £2,000 rectifying these issues so again this did not work in our favour. In the large majority of properties we buy, they are left in good condition and the full £1,000 is returned so this was a very unusual and disappointing situation from our point of view. Again I am sorry that you feel aggrieved and hope this explanation helps you see that our aim was and is always to provide a genuine, open and honest service.
