ANY ONE AUSTRALIAN who knows the website www.strangehomes.com.au.. Is it dodgy? I want to do it bt how does it

Question

work? Is this a big rip off or does it actually work?

Answer 1

There is a similar BS company here in the states called Uglyhomes.com They will buy your ugly home at 10% below market value. Beware on any realestate deal.

Answer 2

Re selling, they are willing to buy the house off you. But at what price? Are they willing to buy it at the price worked out by independent valuer?

Re buying, they "set" the price. What does it mean? Do they set it at 10% more then the fair value? Why are they willing to sell to people who'd probably be rejected by banks (just changed jobs, not enough deposit etc)?

These are some of the questions I'd ask them before I commit to anything.

Answer 3

it looks dodgy as... the graphics are really bad and there are errors in the text. IT IS A RIP OFF

Answer 4

Fair Trading in Australia issued a warning about these types of businesses only last week.

They buy your house at a price which leaves you worse off not better off. Get an agent to sell your house for you.
