The housing market is experiencing a downturn with many people losing their homes or jobs from 2007 to 2010. Fast home sales companies will buy properties and offer quick sales without fees across the UK. Experts agree the downturn will continue, though housing activity may increase again eventually. It is important for homeowners to research options like inspections before deciding to sell, and ensure a profitable deal can be made. The government forced banks to spend $25 billion to help those affected by the US housing bubble crisis.
