sale of house

[disappointed]

has anyone ever had need to sell their house for cash to one of those property buyers. I have a flat in view which I do not want to lose but I need the money from my present home to pay for it. I have only another 6 weeks to sell my house to come up with the cash. This is the only chance I have to buy a ground floor flat. I am disabled.

They will usually only offer you 75-80% of the value, if you can afford to sell for that then go for it.

I looked into it last year. The above is true (which I am sure you knew) but be advised, a lot of this "still live there" lark is actually a fixed tenancy, despite the impression they give.

sorry, didn't properly read the rest of you question - obviously would apply.

Put a shortened (one sentance/phrase) of this question into the site search box and you will find several prevoius answers to this question.
One of the downsides is that at the last minute they can drop the price of any offer they give.
