How it works
How can Bettermove sell my house for free?
Selling your home for free is a reality with Bettermove. We do not charge a fixed percentage commission on a successful sale like a high street agent, and we cover your legal fees on top.
We work as a matchmaker. We market your property to our network of pre-approved buyers, cash purchasers, and investors, or we buy it from you directly using our own funds. We agree a fixed price with you first, and that is the sum you receive on completion.
Whichever route you take, it will not cost you a penny. There is no catch here, and further down this page we explain exactly how we are paid instead.
Two ways to sell for free
Both routes cost you nothing
People who want to sell a house for free usually want one of two things: the certainty of a done deal, or the strongest possible price without a six-month wait. Neither option carries a fee. Here is what each one actually achieves.
Sell directly to us
Complete in 7 to 28 days
We act as a cash house buyer, using our own funds. No mortgage, no chain, and no third party who can pull out at the last minute.
Best suited for: those who want a guaranteed sale and value certainty over squeezing out the last few percent.
- No commission and no agent fees
- We pay your legal fees
- Sell in as little as 7 days
- Any property, any condition
- Full market value is not possible
Sell through our investor network
Usually 30 days or less
We match your property to our network of 60,000+ vetted investors and cash-ready buyers. We agree a fixed net sum with you before we start, and that is what you walk away with.
Best suited for: those who want to maximise what they receive and can wait a few weeks longer for completion.
- No commission and no agent fees
- We pay your legal fees
- Receive close to market value
- Buyer commits with a £1,000 deposit
- Takes longer than the direct cash route
Why us
Why choose a free estate agent over the high street
Selling through a traditional agent is expensive. Commission typically runs to thousands of pounds, legal fees sit on top, and you keep paying the mortgage, council tax and insurance on a property you are trying to leave for every month it sits unsold.
Free online estate agents changed part of that, but most simply moved the fee to the front and asked you to pay it whether the house sold or not. We do neither. There is nothing to pay up front, nothing to pay on completion, and we will never ask you to sign an agreement longer than a month.

The honest bit
How we do this for free
This is the question we are asked most, and it is a fair one. If we are not charging you commission, something has to pay for the work.
We are not a traditional estate agency. Instead of taking a percentage from you, we agree a fixed price with you and our buyer pays us separately for sourcing the property and managing the transaction. Your figure is agreed first and is not affected by what we are paid.
That is the whole model. No hidden fees, no costs deducted at completion, and your legal fees covered whether you sell to one of our buyers or directly to us. Read the full explanation.

What’s included
What you get when you sell your house for free
Selling for free does not mean a stripped-back service. Every seller gets the same team, the same valuation process and the same legal support.
Call us on 0330 004 0050 or email hello@bettermove.co.uk.
A free valuation and cash offer
We value your property using current market data and make you a firm, no-obligation offer in under one hour. There is no charge for this and no expectation that you accept it.
Get your free offerYour legal fees paid
We instruct and pay for the conveyancing on your sale. You do not fund the legal work, and you are not left with a bill if the sale does not proceed.
How the process worksA survey at our cost
We book and pay for an independent RICS surveyor, and you see the complete report rather than a summary of it.
How we value your homeNo lock-in contract
We will never ask you to sign an agreement longer than a month. If you change your mind, you walk away owing nothing.
What we ask of youAny property, any condition
Damp, a short lease, subsidence or simply tired throughout. We buy any house in any condition and you will not be asked to fix a thing.

Sell house for free FAQs
Selling a house for free sounds too good to be true, so these are the questions we are asked most often. If yours is not here, just ask the team.
Are there any hidden fees or charges?
No. There is no commission, no listing fee, no withdrawal fee and no charge for the valuation or the survey. We also pay your legal fees. The figure we agree with you is the figure you receive on completion.
How can Bettermove sell my house for free?
We do not charge you a percentage like a high street agent. We agree a fixed price with you, and our buyer pays us separately for sourcing the property and running the transaction. Your figure is agreed first and does not change.
How long does it take to sell a property for free?
Selling directly to us takes as little as seven days. Through our network of pre-approved buyers, cash purchasers, and investors it is usually under 30 days. Either way it is considerably faster than the twelve weeks a traditional sale typically takes just to exchange.
Why could I choose a free estate agent over a traditional high street agent?
Cost and certainty. A high street agent takes commission on completion and leaves the legal fees with you, and there is no guarantee of a sale at the end of it. With us the price is fixed on day one, the fees are nil, and there is no lock-in.
Is a free online estate agent really free?
Many are not. Most online agents charge an up-front listing fee that you pay whether the property sells or not. We charge nothing at any stage, and we cover your conveyancing as well.
Can I use Bettermove for any type of property?
Yes. Houses, flats, bungalows and commercial premises, in any condition and any location in England and Wales. We buy tenanted property and whole portfolios too.
Will I have control over the selling price of my property?
Yes. We agree the figure with you before anything is marketed, and we will not proceed on a number you have not approved. We do encourage a realistic price, because an unrealistic one simply does not sell.
Do I pay anything if I change my mind?
No. Our offers carry no obligation and our agreements never run longer than a month. If you decide not to proceed, you walk away owing nothing.
What happens after my property is sold?
We handle the conveyancing through our own solicitors and keep you updated at each stage. You choose the completion date, and the agreed sum is transferred to you on completion.
Do you charge for property valuations?
No, our valuations are free. We assess your property using current market data and make a fair offer at no cost to you at all.
