Just about to put our place on the market and not looking forward to dealing with an Estate Agent (I have visions of someone in a shiny suit, driving a wrapped Mini ...)

Saw one of Springboks banner ads and clicked it against my better judgement. I would normally assume companies like this exist to take a pound of flesh off sellers in distress but is this one different?

Not another new member trying to drag up an old thread about a dodgy company, well maybe legit but they prey on people who need to sell in a hurry.

I would say somebody has been working very hard on their online reputation. One one site there are eight reviews -- six in one month with a few days in between. Some on the same day. Coincidence. no?

We actually tried to sell our house with these guys, rather than be purchased by them. Their spiel was quite convincing - they tell you that your house is ideal for 'investors' they have on their books and can make significant rental income. For a hefty fee on completion (approx 1.5-2.5k more than the big local EA's), they market your house, but they do it by putting it at a very low "offers in excess of" price on rightmove (in our case, over 20k lower than we'd have accepted).

It didn't work for us. We saw none of the block viewings by BTL investors as promised, just a few regular viewings that went nowhere because people probably felt a bit cheated when they realised we couldn't afford to sell for the absurdly low sticker price.

When we remarketed the house, the first viewer enquired why we had upped the price so much, so there is potential that their strategy may harm future sales.

To play devil's advocate, though, lots of terraced properties around this area go up and sell really quickly by this company, so they know that part of the market, at least.
