About FSBO.org.uk
Until now the acronym FSBO, standing for "For Sale By Owner", has been used predominantly in the US, where an estimated 60% of homes are sold privately. In the UK only an estimated 10% decide to go the private route, which may be a more accurate reflection of the number of people who are aware of this option, rather than the number who wish to sell privately. FSBO.org.uk is a not-for-profit website which aims to educate people about the possibilities and pitfalls, pros and cons of selling without an estate agent.
For many people using an agent may still be the best option and FSBO.org.uk is in no way anti estate agents. We simply believe in offering the consumer a choice and providing the information necessary to make an informed decision as to whether selling privately or with the help of an agent is the best route for them.
