Buying house directly from owner

I am new to the UK real estate market. As I see, all houses are marketed by real estate agents. Even when I tried classified ads, they are posted by real estate agents. Am I in a wrong track OR it is not common in the UK to sell a property without real estate agents?

I am an open book. I am looking for a cheap terrace house in North East to renovate it from scratch. I am not an expert, just have a limited saving for a cash purchase. When I bought that, my questions will be in the renovation section

Why not be proactive and leaflet a few streets and\or advertise in local shop windows?
