Is Selling for Free Really Free?
The Appeal of Zero Cost
Free is a powerful word. When a service tells you they will sell your house for free, you pay attention. It sounds perfect. But businesses need to make money. So how do they do it?
Always ask how a free service makes its profit. If the product is free, you or your data are usually the product.
The core listing might cost nothing. But the pressure to use their mortgage brokers and their conveyancers is intense. These recommended services are often significantly more expensive than finding your own independent professional. They recoup their costs through these hefty referral fees.
You can achieve a genuinely low cost sale without the pressure tactics. By using a subscription based property platform, you pay a small, transparent monthly fee. You choose your own conveyancer. You choose your own mortgage broker. You stay in control of the entire process.
