We used this agent to sell our home in Manchester. Of all the companies that we had to deal with during this stressful process, these were the easiest, cheapest and most helpful.
£99 upfront and that was it! Yes we had to do the viewings ourselves but that wasn't a problem for us. We had to take our own pics and email them but this only took 5 minutes. Come on, people are taking pics on their phones all the time so it's no great shakes to take a few more is it? We also had to take our own measurments but how hard is it to use a tape measure? We didn't get a valuation - we just looked at other houses that had sold on our street and used a similar value. It's not rocket science! They don't have a branch but who goes trekking round branches in this day and age? Everyone just looks online right?
Phone calls were usually dealt with OK, but the best way to stay in contact was via email and all enquiries were dealt with promptly.
We advertised our house for 150k and accepted an offer of 145k within about a month of it being advertised. They dealt with solicitors (who weren't anything like as efficient, especially those employed by our buyer) and did their best to keep things moving.
Other estate agents need to take a serious look at themselves if they want to survive in the online age. They charge 4 figure sums and for what? Taking a few pictures, measuring your rooms and telling you how much they think your home is worth. OK they will do viewings for you but is that worth a grand or more? I don't think so. We used the basic service from Doorsteps but they will provide other services if you pay a bit more. It'll still be way less than other agents though.
I cannot recommend Doorsteps enough. Using this company is a no-brainer and quite frankly I think it'd be foolish to go anywhere else.

£99 all in - unbelievably cheap but believe it!
