Selling A House Without Using Estate Agents

[mazie]

Have any ABer's done this?

I Looked into Estate Agents fees and they are pretty high. I've also looked at sites like Tepilo and Ebay. Any advice would be greatly appreciated (thank you x)

You are considering / thinking about listing your house on Ebay?

I bought my last house through a private sale. When we agreed the sale they we just exchanged solicitors' details.

Brilliant Buenchico.....I was very nervous about doing this, I thought it would be rather challenging.. I think I'm going to give it a go. Estate Agents want 2% of the value of the house!!

Yes society, you can list your house on E-bay using their Classified Ad option which cost £35 for 28 days

Thanks craft, is it that easy with the solicitors? I've lived in this house for a very, very long time and have no idea what I'm going really :o(

You'd use a solicitor or conveyancer anyway, all they need to know is the other solicitors details. I bought my last house through a private ad in the local paper.

I just thought it must be more complicated than that craft going by the size of the EA fees.
