How do we offer so much at this price?
At House-Hut we offer you a very personalised service with our unique 10 point service commitment. Moving home is one of the most stressful events in your life, it is also probably your biggest purchase, which is why our motto is: ‘inspiring confidence - reducing stress’. As members of the Ombudsman for Estate Agents Scheme you have the reassurance of knowing we abide by their strict codes of practice this also provides you with an independent point of redress. We listen to what you want, when we say we’ll ring you back we will. Being totally independent we don’t have to meet head office targets, we work for you our customers. We won’t try and sell you mortgages or insurance - all we do is sell houses!
To sell your house - call or email us and we will come and visit you at a convenient time. We offer a free appraisal and market valuation of your property and will discuss a personalised plan to sell your property. In all cases we will offer you advice on how best to present your property to get the best possible price.
All enquiries are followed up to maximise the sale potential of your property. Viewings are arranged through our office, and we will accompany all viewings if required.
All offers on your property will be passed on to you and we will advise you on how to proceed and negotiate the best price for you. Once a sale has been agreed we will follow the sale through to completion keeping you informed all the way. We aim to make your move go as smoothly as possible.

We offer transparency in our charges.
Where we differ from traditional estate agents, is that we don’t have a high street shop and the savings we make we pass on to you. We also believe you should only pay for the service you require; many people end up showing people around their homes themselves and some home owners prefer to, but still get charged the full fee by their estate agent. With House-Hut you decide the service you require.

Frequently asked questions.
Does having no shop mean you miss out on potential buyers?
No because almost all serious buyers will look in the property papers, or at Rightmove website. Seventy five percent of house buyers now look at the Internet when searching for property. Rightmove has six times the traffic of its nearest competitor; all our properties are listed on Rightmove.
Potential buyers can call us on our low cost 0845 and 0330 numbers, and like any other agent we post full colour details of your property, and follow up all enquiries.
No - we believe you should not be tied into long term contracts and if you are not happy with the service your agent provides you should be free to change. We have confidence in our services and we work hard to keep your custom.
Yes like most agents we recommend placing one of our distinctive signs outside your home to assist in the marketing of your property.
