Friends who have had more luck were selling pretty bog standard new build flats (under 5 years old) - people selling older and larger properties had less luck (or viewings) - then again this is just a couple of people


Be prepared for a few time wasters, ones that a good estate agent can screen out and to do all the appointment arranging. If you can save a few grand then all luck to you

Really, 0% commission - are you sure? Tom has also mentioned that the arrival of Foxtons is going have an

effect on the property prices. Are they doing some sort of deal?

I recently sold my place on www.propertybroker.com Found it was reasonably easy but would echo Tommys comments above re time wasters. If you do recieve an offer you need to get the purchasers to book their survey quickly ( 7 days is reasonable) that way they've got ?500ish invested in the deal already.


Well worth the hassle for 1.25% of what your selling it for.


good luck!

]Hi i sold my house on eMoove.com not so long ago. The site was fairly easy to use and i didnt have any problems. They are also doing a free listing with HotProperty.com at the moment aswel.


I recomend the site to anyone trying to sell privately, have a look at the site and see what you, its worth trying it out!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
