Ok having never bought or sold a property before I can’t really comment too much about Houseweb.com but it does look like a good way to save money while selling your home online.

The traditional way to sell your home is to use an estate agent who will market your property for you and when done well should attract interest in the property hopefully lead to a sale.
BUT the drawback with estate agents are they can become very expensive and I have heard quite a few stories from people I know that have sold properties that the estate agent they used wasn’t very good and a waste of money!

But there are now other ways to sell your home avoiding the estate agents and there expensive fees.

Houseweb.com – Houseweb was established in 1996 and has now become the UK’s biggest online property marketplace, according to Houseweb on average you could make a saving of up too £5,600 in sellers fees as you don’t need to use an estate agent.
Traditionally estate agents will charge you a weekly fee for marketing your property with them so the longer it doesn’t sell the more it will end up costing you in estate agents fees.
With Houseweb.com you only ever pay a one off fee and there are no hidden commissions or extra fees.
Other benefits are that Houseweb.com will advertise your house over a huge online network of over 350 established websites, reaching a total of 350 million home hunters. An estate agent could never achieve this!

Ebay.co.uk – The other way to sell your home by yourself is to sell it at auction. There has been recent talk that by selling at auction you can infact increase your sale price due to the ‘bidding frenzy’ that can occur. The only drawback about selling at auction is that you are confined to a time scale, and you may not get a good price it could end up going for less than you anticipated.

It is worth noting that due to complicated property sales law in the UK selling your property on Ebay is not legally binding. “Instead, they are simply a way for sellers to advertise their property and meet potential buyers. At the close of the auction, the seller should contact the winning bidder to discuss entering into a contract for the real property. However, neither party is obligated to complete the property transaction. This type of transaction is called a Non-binding Auction”.
