Houses.co.uk will Save Home Sellers Thousands on Estate Agency Fees

Houses.co.uk has today launched its new website, becoming the latest entrant to the online estate agency market. Founded by estate agent Russell Bennett and Internet entrepreneur Peter Thornton, the site will save house sellers thousands of pounds compared to the cost of using a high street agent.

The shift in sales from the high street to the Internet has permeated all areas of retail, including the property market, with buyers and sellers keen to quickly access information using property portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla.

Russell Bennett from Houses.co.uk said: “We offer everything that you would get from a high street agent such as photography, floor plans and liaison with potential purchasers, but at a much lower fee that will save the average seller over £3000. We are bringing a credible and trustworthy alternative to the way that the UK has been buying and selling property for the last 50 years.”

Houses.co.uk offers all of the services found in high street estate agents, but their centralised UK call centre and Internet based service reduce costs significantly and enable people to sell their home for a low fee starting at £395.

Peter Thornton added: “We are taking the online experience that we have accumulated over the last ten years and applying it to our knowledge of the housing market. There is no leap of faith here, we have a great service as well as the skills and tools to help people buy and sell homes quickly and for thousands of pounds less than they would do when using a high street agent.”

The website is live now at Houses.co.uk and the online estate agent is a member of the Property Ombudsman.
