Good Value
Depending on which service you choose, Housenetwork.co.uk sellers can save over £3,900 when compared to using a traditional estate agent to sell a £200K property at a typical 2% commission. Housenetwork visit every property that they market through a visual design service, and offer Virtual Tours, Floor Plans, unlimited digital photographs and particulars. They offer a tiered pricing model to offer complete flexibility for each client and their requirements, with the basis on the more you pay upfront for the home visit, the less or in some cases “zero” you pay on completion. The packages on offer are as follows:
HouseNetwork Contract
The HouseNetwork does not believe in sole agency agreements and their contract with you is simply based on them selling your property. They do not penalise you if you decide to market your property with an additional agent, and all packages are non-expiry so you can use the service for an unlimited period, again offering excellent value for money.
