what internet house sales sites use right move?

Levenshulmesaver

Hi,

I'm looking to sell our house using the internet, and while there seems to be no shortage of sites where you can sell your home for very little money none of them seem to post your property on right move - which is the site everyone uses.

I have only found one - housenetwork.com

However they still deal with all your calls and send a designer round to take pics etc - hence they are cheap, but not that cheap.

Is there a gap in the market? An internet site which allows you to sell your own home without using an estate agent, where you deal with all calls re viewings and offers etc and where you take your own pics etc - but where you still get your property advertised on Rightmove.co.uk

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Can you imagine Rightmove full of private ads? It would be like a property jumble sale. Also, the EAs operate as a cartel and ensure Rightmove is onside...

Rightmove no longer permit private advertising on their site - or rather their shareholder owners Halifax, Connells and Countrywide /Bairstows no longer permit Rightmove to have private advertising subscribers.

You used to be able to get listings from the leading private sale websites on Rightmove (up until 2004 when Rightmove restricted access to agents only), but no longer.

Until the Office of Fair Trading care to do something about the blatant breach of anti-competition rules, then this situation will not change.

However, its not the end of the world. Rightmove are only one of the leading property services that buyers frequent and you can get massive coverage on other networks for very low cost (typically £100-£150) and beat the agents commission - just choose carefully as there are major differences between the few professional online property services and a rash of tinpot wannabee property websites being run from people's back bedrooms.

A website alone and a few sponsored ads on Google do not an effective marketing service make.;)
