Professional transaction
The only one thing to improve was that they could have explained better how the market movements can affect the offer. In a stagnant market, it is realistic that you will receive a lower sum than an estate agent will tell you. Apart from that, they do what they offer.

Pros
- Customer serivce
Cons
- Took a bit longer than anticipatd
Reason of review
Good customer service
Avoid NHB at all costs.
After a long discussion about the service we paid the money and agreed a sale price providing the current tenant could remain in the property. The estimated completion date was never anywhere near correct and after 5 months of answering questions already answered. Receiving paperwork already completed and delay after delay, they renewed their offer 25% less than the original. I am sure that their business ethics are to find desperate sellers and then delay things for so long they are in a position to accept a much reduced offer out of desperation. I would trust Del Trotter to be honest before this comp[any.

National Homebuyers - House Review from Chesterfield, Derbyshire
I too was scammed by NHB with the same M.O as every other review I have read. They suggested an upfront fee of £99, our house had just been valued at £140,000 by a local estate agent NHB came back with an offer of £101,000. I refused that offer they came back with £110,000 of which we accepted of which we got in writing. To cut along story short after accepting their offer they got it valued themselves and then offered us£70,000. I gave them some choice words and refused. It cost me the £99 plus £150 to my own solicitor. NHB should be looked into by a governing body they are a money, time wasting organisation and that animated guy on their advert should be wearing a mask.

Tried to Rip Me Off
I rang National Homebuyers to buy my property, after several questions they made me an offer of £95,000. My property had been valued at £125.000. I haggled with them and got them to increase the offer to £100,000 which i thought was fair for both parties. I accepted the offer and started proceeding. They sent a valuer who told me that they would use his valuation to try to drive down the price. As i had not started legal work i wanted to find out from National Homebuyers if this was true. I rang them and they said the valuation was CLOSE to what i had given. I then agreed to start the legal work which they had chosen the solicitor. Once the legal work started and they knew i was liable for costs they changed their offer to £75,000. I then withdrew and was forced to pay legal costs to THEIR solicitor. I feel that i was setup on purpose.

National Homebuyers scammed me out of £99
I need to sell my house fast. I chose National Homebuyers as they said they were the biggest but charged a refundable valuation when you sold to them. They originally quoted me £495 for a valuation but then agreed to £99. They said that a HICs Surveyor would value my house!! I had the house valued by an estate agent just to check the accuracy. They sent me an offer for my house without even leaving their office... based on valuations from 2001-**** and comparing it to houses completly different to mine. Estate Agents valued at £180 000. National Homebuyers valued it at £139 000 offered to pay £97 000. Do Not Pay The Valuation Fee. Its a Scam!!!!

It would be interesting to see if the surveyors carrying out what appear to be deliberately low valuations on behalf of NHB are RICS members- if they are then complaints may be appropriate in that direction.
We have today approached National Housebuyers and they said they will make an offer in writing in the next seven days. Having read the reviews here, I shall contact them and tell them not to bother. Thanks for the warning.
