Most estate agents ( high street or internet) advertise to buyers through internet portals such as Rightmove and Findaproperty. These portals showcase to millions of buyers and receive millions of unique hits everyday. As an Ombudsman registered estate agent UrbanSalesandLettings have memberships to ALL top portals and many more.

UrbanSalesandLettings typically perform everything that a high street agent will but do not have costly overheads of a shop front which means we can keep our costs to the Seller down.

  Many Sellers are turning to selling their homes privately these days. The age of the internet has made this much more possible. However the costs between selling privately and selling using an Internet agent (Such as UrbanSalesandLettings) can be very comparable and yet the benefits of UrbanSalesandLettings far out weigh the route of selling your home privately.  

   

  When you sell your property privately you will need to decide how to market your property. Most sellers will opt for newspaper and internet advertising. The most common websites which offer exposure to the internet are Littlehousecompany.co.uk, Mypropertyforsale.com, Houseladder.co.uk and the Loot.

   

  Apart from the internet placing advertisements in local newspapers and magazines is an effective method however weekly costs mount up quickly.

   

  If you were to utilise the above websites to sell your home privately, a new paper advertisement for 2 months and a Private for sale board you would quickly build up around £500 in marketing costs (Internet advertising £250, Newspaper £200, Board £50) and your exposure on the internet would be minimal in comparison to the internet portals available to the high street estate agent and UrbanSalesandLettings.

   

  The top property portals in the UK are as follows:

   

  1.       Rightmove.co.uk

  2.       Findaproperty.com

  3.       Primelocation.com  

  4.       PropertyFinder.com

  5.       Globrix

  6.       Zoopla

  7.       Nestoria

  8.       Fish4homes

  9.       Hotproperty

  10.    Homesandproperty

   

  Only Fish4homes and Globrix are available as part of the package included in the private house sellers websites whereas UrbanSalesandLettings are members of ALL the top ten portals and many more.

   

  Our unrivalled internet marketing will ensure your property is showcased to as many buyers as possible far outweighing the choice of selling privately. The main driver for selling privately is to keep costs down whereas using an internet estate agent can keep costs perhaps lower than marketing yourself and increase your exposure 10 fold.

   

  If you want to go it alone when selling your property, in the wake of our new sales pack you really have to ask yourself the question : is it really worth it?
