Thinking of Selling A House Privately Online?

Why we beat the competition.

There are dozens of no-commission, private property sales sites in the UK and abroad right now, making it difficult to know which one to choose. We've narrowed the field to just the 'big boys' and scored each one on the important aspects.

(Pricing structures vary greatly so for the sake of comparison 'COST' refers to the yearly charge for a single advert with multi-photographs)

Mouse Move

www.mouse-move.com

COST: You can advertise and sell your house for less than £30 with Mouse-Move™  your house will remain live and on sale UNTIL SOLD!

Mouse-Move™ gets full marks as one of the most cost-efficient private property sales sites you'll find anywhere. 5/5

EASE OF USE: Simple navigation and creating your advert is as easy as 1, 2, 3. 5/5

OPTIONAL EXTRAS: Lots of free guides, links, advice, plus an easy-to-order low-cost For Sale sign. If it had bells and whistles it would get full marks! 4/5
