  • Hi,
    Has anyone had any experience selling their house through an online only estate agent (yoga, strike, doorsteps, etc)?
    We’re looking to sell soon and looking at this route.

  • We bought through Yopa. I'm not sure if it's to do with the package the seller selected, but Yopa didn't do a whole lot of sales progression stuff - it was all driven by us as we really needed a house and the sellers really needed to move. Happy accident. Fortunately we and the sellers were mostly adults and were happy to negotiate directly and we did, although on reflection the sellers were quite exposed and we could have driven an extremely hard bargain.

    If you have a property in a high demand location, and you know what you are doing, and are motivated, I would say try it, the worst you can lose is time and maybe £1000 or whatever if you don't make a sale through it.

    I'd be tempted to try it if we wanted to move but I would see it as an experiment.

    Same, I'm sure if it was through a "proper" agent our negotiations wouldn't have gone as well in our favour.
