FAQ's

How are you able to provide a high quality estate agent service for such a low fee?

We have removed a lot of the unnecessary cost associated with the process. We generate our instructions through using sophisticated online estate agent marketing and traditional estate agent methods. Our agents are discrete and we do not maintain high street premises or a fleet of branded vehicles, that way we pass the savings WE make onto YOU – the customer. Less2sell.co.uk can generate great interest in properties without incurring the cost of most of our competitors.

Why did you start the Online Estate Agency?

Here at Less2sell Online Estate Agents, we want to put the trust back into estate agencies by offering a genuinely open and honest business. When we began thinking about this project we wanted to make sure that people who sell their homes are in charge of the process and are able to sell their most important financial asset at a reasonable price. This business is not run by Venture Capitalist or big corporate multi-national firms looking to maximise shareholder value – this business is independently run by 2 normal people who REALLY have our customers at the forefront of our minds. We want to make the process of selling your home, cost effective, enjoyable and less stressful.

What is the Difference between Less2sell.co.uk and a Property portal?

Good question. Property portals will charge you an upfront fee and will send you a ‘for sale’ sign via the post. YOU then have to manage the rest of the process yourself:-

1) Decide the value of your property

2) Erect the sign

3) Take digital photographs and upload them

4) Write out all your own room descriptions and upload them

5) Handle all potential calls for viewing (at all times of day or night)

6) Conduct your own viewings

7) Negotiate the final selling price directly with the buyer

8) Instruct your appointed solicitor

When you instruct Less2sell Online Estate Agents to market your property WE WILL DO EVERYTHING for YOU (except on package 1 when we do not come out to give market valuations or take photographs or write room descriptions).

You are also secure in the knowledge that you have the full support of an estate agent who are members of the National Association of Estate Agents.
