Private Property Sales Directory

If you are willing to take on the extra workload of selling property privately, then there are substantial savings to be made over using a traditional high street estate agent. So how can I sell my house, cheaply and effectively, using the Internet?

"The web is starting to transform the way we buy and sell properties. When you next sell a home would you prefer to spend £7,843 or £100? These days estate agents typically charge 2.5 per cent commission to sell a property. With an average home in the capital now costing £267,000, that fee comes to £6,675. To rub salt into the seller's wound, the agent then adds 17.5 per cent VAT, taking it to £7,843. Unsurprisingly, increasing numbers of sellers try to avoid this bill and instead try one of a proliferating number of private sale websites to advertise their homes" - Graham Norwood, Telegraph
