Online agent Housesimple rolls out its free sales service to the Midlands

Online agent Housesimple is rolling out its free home selling service to the Midlands. The agent – which scrapped all fees for vendors earlier this year to focus on offering a free service in Yorkshire and parts of northern England – is now offering its services to home owners in Nottingham postcodes.

Those living in postcodes NG1 to NG8 can now book a free home valuation ahead of the official launch on 27 December. Since trialling its free service in January, Housesimple said it has helped more than 5,000 people sell their homes, saving an estimated £7m in total fees.

Rather than charging commission or upfront fees for selling homes, Housesimple earns referral fees from no-obligation selected services provided to sellers and buyers such as mortgage, conveyancing and insurance advice.

Chief executive Sam Mitchell said: “We are on a mission to change estate agency for the better, by making the experience of buying and selling property simple, transparent and free. As of December 27, people will be able to start selling for free in Nottingham, our first city in the Midlands and the next big step in our plans to take our free offer nationwide.”
