We signed up with Housesimple in September and sold our house easily and quickly. We went for a very basic package, opting to do most of the work ourselves, but were very impressed with the service from Housesimple, particularly everyone we spoke to. You need to have a little patience with their website, but it is definitely worth it.
They took photos, produced the floorplan, posted the advert on Rightmove etc and took contact details of prospective buyers, we did the rest - which is how we wanted it.
We produced our own particulars and replaced their pictures with our own (the photograher came on a very dark day). We were careful to look at the particulars of other houses in our area and use similar phrases. We reviewed our advert several times before going live, as I had read in other reviews that it can be hard to change your advert once it is live on Rightmove, Zoopla etc. This takes a while but is worth doing - we had made a couple of silly errors, including with the price of the property!
At every step of the process Housesimple completed their actions very quickly - booking the photographer, putting the advert on Zoopla and Rightmove etc. We were very impressed with the speed of the service throughout.
We decided to initially only offer one date on our availability calendar because we didn't want to have to tidy the house multiple times. Housesimple emailed us the details of all prospective buyers and I called them back to arrange viewings.
I encouraged prospective buyers to contact me directly for second viewings and negotiations and this worked very well. Once we had accepted an offer Housesimple very quickly updated the details online and helpfully advised me of the next steps.
I have recommended Housesimple to several friends because we were very impressed with the excellent service. Dealing with them was easy from start to finish, the process was very smooth. We will definitely use them again.
Comment on agent fees
Very, very good value for money.
