So I've been speaking to a company that has bought the shared equity within my house from the builders who originally owned it (10%).
They've offered me the chance to buy back at a reduced rate (they obviously paid less for it and are making a profit).
Problem is I've got to transfer the money to an account which is a 'clearing account'.
I spoke to the FCA who said be careful incase it's a scam as sometimes people clone the same business (websites etc) and masquerade as them.
I spoke to solicitor who's said be careful and we cant help you
I spoke to the builders and they said it's all above board interms of who has contacted me.
I've checked out the company at companies house and the one in Jersey and they exist but no one, including my bank can tell me the account I'm transferring to is legit.
Anyone got any ideas to safe guard myself?
