How selling on For Sale By Owner works

Three simple steps from listing your property to completing the sale — with no estate agent, no commission, and no hidden fees. Ever.

List your property

Create your free listing in minutes. You’ll add the essentials — address, price, property type, bedrooms and bathrooms — along with photos and a description that helps buyers picture themselves in your home. No card required and no commission, ever.

  • Price with confidence. Use our sold price data to see what similar properties in your area have sold for, and the price comparison tool to sanity-check your asking price.
  • Photos that sell. Bright, decluttered rooms shot in landscape perform best. You can upload up to the standard gallery size and reorder them any time from your dashboard.
  • Floorplans and documents. Attach a floorplan and your EPC so serious buyers can do their homework before booking a viewing.

Share with buyers

Once you publish, your listing appears instantly in property search and is matched against buyers’ saved searches — so the right people hear about it without you lifting a finger.

  • Viewings on your terms. Open the availability slots that suit you. Buyers request a time, you confirm, and everyone gets an automatic reminder.
  • Message buyers directly. Every enquiry lands in your inbox. Answer questions, share extra info, and build a shortlist of serious buyers — without a middleman re-phrasing what was said.
  • Stay organised. Your dashboard shows saves, messages, viewing requests and offers in one place, so you always know who’s interested and what needs a reply.

Sell direct

When a buyer is ready, they submit a formal offer through the platform. You can accept, reject, or counter — and once terms are agreed, the sale moves into the legal stage.

  • Guided conveyancing. Our sale tracker walks you step-by-step through the England & Wales conveyancing process, so nothing slips through the cracks between offer-accepted and completion day.
  • Keep the full sale price. Because there’s no estate agent in the middle, every pound agreed in the offer is yours — minus only your solicitor’s fees and the usual disbursements.
  • Complete and hand over the keys. Once contracts exchange and completion funds clear, the property is sold. That’s it.

What about…?

…the cost?

Listing is free. Browsing is free. Messaging and offers are free. We don’t charge commission and we don’t take a cut of the sale. The only money that changes hands is between you, your buyer, and your solicitor.

…the legal side?

You’ll still need a solicitor or licensed conveyancer — that’s true whether you use an estate agent or not. Our conveyancing tracker shows you every step so you can keep your solicitor accountable and the chain moving.

…how this compares to a traditional agent?

A typical high-street agent charges 1.0–1.8% of the sale price. On a £350,000 home that’s £3,500–£6,300. See the full side-by-side comparison — the savings go straight into your pocket.
