I hope you will have the patience to read my review, it is rather long-winded but I think it is very important to warn people of the problems with House Simple's customer service and their misleading terms by describing exactly what happened to me. Initially, leading up to the photographs being ... Read Full Review

Very pleased with the service, house simple sold my house within 2 months after advertising with them. I'd previously used a local estate agents for 6 months and was not impressed with levels of service from these. Being able to edit the photos and description is a great plus point as these appear ...

Having sold a few houses before though high street estate agents at what I considered to be a very high cost, I started to look for alternatives. I found a few online estate agents and found the web site for house simple to be easier to navigate than others. It also showed what you get for your ... Read Full Review

After much shopping around and trawling through dozens of both High Street and online estate agents for a reasonable service and price, I opted for HouseSimple. This was due to the extensive services offered and most importantly the very reasonable price, which was much lower than the High Street ... Read Full Review

A great way to sell your property. As most buyers look online these days I thought I'd save a lot of expense by using HouseSimple. Having been quoted £1800 + VAT by two local estate agents I decided to try HouseSimple at £495 inc VAT. I had my first viewing within 2 hours on being on ... Read Full Review

A great way of selling your home without the expense. However I was less than happy with the shocking, dark, 'professional' photos their photographer had taken (the usual one was on holiday. ) They were so bad I had to take my own and when I complained they wanted to charge me to have them taken ...

Housesimple was a very easy way to market my property. I liked the fact I was able to manage my listing rather than having an high street agent 'pretend' to know about your property. The photographs were good quality and the for sale board was delivered efficiently and displayed prominently. The ... Read Full Review

I was a little nervous about using an on line property agent, but the friendly efficient staff made it very easy. What most impressed me was the patience of the staff, even when they were asked quite basic questions. Much better than using a High Street ... Read Full Review

For the price you can't go wrong! initially I had my doubts about using Housesimple as I've never come across them before. Though after reading reviews from various sites I took the plunge. In all honesty it was the best decision I made. The process behind the scenes still requires improving, and ... Read Full Review

Value for money is incredible. They do everything an estate agent normally does, except viewings. Personally, I'd prefer to do the viewings, as nobody knows more about the house than i do. Website is mostly easy to use, and very convenient to accept viewing etc online. A few critisisms. - ... Read Full Review

Online Estate Agency is the future. We do all our searching through Rightmove and Zoopla and not in a office. HouseSimple use all of these and through there portal it is very easy to add and remove information and update pictures and descriptions. What most appealed to us was the price difference ...

High street best price was £2500 House Simple selling Fee £395 which includes Sale Board, Professional photographer, advertising on Rightmove, Zoopla and many other sites. I could not see any added benefit from going with a high street agent.

With a high street agent who were taking 1.75% on my 220k house. After a year of only two agent guided viewings only had some very low offers. Tried house simple and so glad, really professional photos and managed to promply sell in just 4 days with no silly commission for 5k more than last years ... 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.
