Website to advertise and buy a house in specific area

Is there such a thing?

Thinking of selling my house and wondered if there was sites where people post their needs and what areas they are looking for a house rather than going through an estate agent?

Very early days as need to get my house 'ready' to sell but just curious if there was such a website.

thanks :j

    Can't see how it would really work as nobody's going to sit there doing nothing waiting for a seller to come and find them. They'd surely just go on RM and look for what they want if they were serious...

    I think there is something for those who would consider selling at the right price on zoopla - called 'TemptMe' which probably does something similar.

  • I stuck my house on Zoopla TemptMe with a realistic price. Only offers I got was junk mail from local estate agents wanting to put my house on their books. I declined.

    The closest you'll come is an on-line agent:

    Hatched
    Emoov
    House Network

    And others.

    Cheaper than an agent, but then you do more of the work.
