We have a house we want to sell with sitting tenants. Has anyone on here ever sold a house this way. We know we won’t get full market value, we just want to get shut of it. The current tenants pay rent on time every month

Sounds OK. But get the best lawyer you can. They might try it on.

I think the general thing with these companies are that they'll only end up offering you 60-70% of the value of the property.

After all, they don't really want your house, they want to make money?

Spoke to a couple when ours was up at £440k, they were coming in at £350k-360k. I got the impression they're generally reputable but often try to come down late in the day. Its a lot of cash to drop but if your priority is getting it sold, then maybe it works

May be better to look for an estate agent that does commercial stuff. An existing landlord may be happy to buy property with a good tenant.

I had some issues selling in the past and spoke to a couple of instant purchase companies. 80% of market value is about the most they will pay.

My Sister wanted to offload a flat and they came in at a very low offer, which she agreed to, but they came back at the point of exchange with a necessary revised offer due to market changes of £20k lower! She said no and they bailed on the whole deal. I gather thats their MO.

In the US these companies are Wall St investment firms...

Before we bought our place we were in a rental that changed owners, they were happy to have good tenants in place.
