Strike is here to redefine the way you move. After 200 years of high fees and pointless jargon, it’s time for a change. That’s why we’re changing what it means to be an estate agent. We bring together local expertise and technology to make moving easy. And free. Selling your home for free is at the heart of what
we do. We work differently than traditional estate agents. We use technology to be more effective and don’t have expensive high street branches, so we can pass the savings onto you. We recommend useful services from our partners along the way — and if you choose one of these optional services, our partner pays us a referral fee. And if you don’t choose to use them, we’ll still sell your home for free. No pressure, no awkwardness, just a fantastic, free service.

What drew me to house simple in all honesty was the price of fixed fee and no sale no fee. I was however a little disappointed with that as when you don't use there conveyance recommendations etc the price goes up by about �500! Which is not made clear on first sight. However regardless of that ... Read Full Review

I would thoroughly recommend House Simple. We sold our house in 4 days for �5000 more than the asking price because we had competing buyers. It's great that you can arrange you own viewings outside 'normal' office hours without the need to go through a middle man. The photos were first class too, ... Read Full Review

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
