The private advertisers



The following websites specialise in private adverts (that is properties advertised for sale directly by the vendor). You will not find private adverts on any of the major property portals, so don't neglect this sector.

Although the number of properties advertised privately is relatively limited, the potential cost savings for both vendor and purchaser are significant and property hunters in search of value for money should certainly check out the following websites:

Little House Company- one of the longest established sites for private advertisers. Clear, uncluttered layout. Search by location (including postcode), property type, price, minimum bedrooms, and wheelchair access.

Property Broker- a simple and uncluttered site that has been in existence for around 10 years. Quick and easy-to-use with a good range of property.

Houseladder- a well-established site although the amount of information and number of options can be confusing. Search by price, location, or number of bedrooms.

My Property for Sale- clear site with a good selection of property. Very easy to search by location but no other search options available.

Properties Direct- this site is worth visiting as it carries adverts from a number of other private advertising websites, thereby increasing the number of properties included.

Home swaps

These sites operate by matching properties registered with them to allow the owners to swap rather than sell the property on the open market. Properties swapped do not have to be exactly the same value - there will be a system to take account of price differences, but the sums involved are likely to be much smaller than those related to buying a property outright.
