The Difference Between Us And An Estate Agent

We are not an Estate Agent, our aim is to provide anyone selling a property with similar advertising and exposure they would get with an Estate Agent. It is ultimately the property owners responsibility to sell their own house. We do not act on their behalf. We do not value properties, take details, conduct vewings and will not negotiate with any potential buyers. Because of this fact property owners can sell their properties privately through us without affecting any 'Sole Agency' agreements they may have in place with Estate Agents. See our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for more information.

Buying?

Due to our extensive advertising campaign in local property papers and radio we attract a varied range of properties in any particular area*. We will only give you details of properties that EXACTLY match your search criteria. You can view your results on a list or map. You can save your searches and optionally get eMail alerts of any new properties matching your search criteria. Use the 'Quick Search' on the left or go to our Buying page for more details.

 

Selling?

You can advertise your house until sold with full details and unlimited photographs on our site for just £45 including VAT.

 

To advertise to the widest number of potential buyers you cannot rely solely on the Internet (not yet anyway!). That is why at Direct Home Sales we are working closely with local newspaper companies to provide you with a cost efficient mechanism for advertising in your local property paper*.

 

Over the coming months we will be continuing our national advertising campaign to help attract the maximum number of potential buyers for your property.

 

An Interesting Fact: 
If you were selling a property for £190,000 (average UK property price) you could advertise it through us and have a small (1 photo) advert in your local property paper every week for over a year and still not pay as much as you would to an Estate Agent (see
Selling page for details and calculations)
