blind date

Whenever possible arrange your viewings in
daylight hours

How much does it cost to advertise?
Nothing as housead.co.uk is a new alternative to estate agents
we are not charging a penny for this service however this will
change in the future when housead.co.uk becomes a household name
but for the time being it is totally free so you have nothing to
lose just money to save
Free 4 now
Once we
reach our targets we will charge for this service but our
costs will still be very low. House prices have doubled in
some areas over the last five years so percentage based
agency profits have also doubled we think this is unfair so
housead.co.uk was established to bring some balance back to
the housing market and to break the monopoly of the estates
agents either way if you wish to let or sell you property
housead.co.uk will save you your hard earned money.
Advertising on housead.co.uk
housead.co.uk is a property advertising service for people
wishing to sell or let their property privately. Advertising on
housead.co.uk is simple Complete the online property
registration process and your property will appear immediately
on housead.co.uk with its own web page. Potential buyers and
tenants are then able to view the details you have provided and
make contact through the secure email service.
Estate agents & housead.co.uk?
As housead.co.uk is solely a property advertiser and not
acting as an agent you will not have to pay a sole agency or
multiple agency commission if you sell or let to someone
introduced through your privet advert with housead.co.uk.
However you should carefully read any terms of contract from
your agency to see if it states 'sole selling rights' as you
may become liable for agency commission.
Please take a look at
The
Office of Fair Trading (OFT) web site regarding buying and
selling property.
