homebuddy® is a unique online platform that allows homeowners and private sellers in the South Wales area to sell their property without the need for an estate agent.

The Housing Alliance (1) report from YouGov showed that when it came to housing, 58% of those polled were concerned about the cost of estate agents’ fees and with homebuddy® removing these from the conveyancing process, you could potentially save thousands of pounds. With the average house price in Cardiff being £242,9822 (a staggering 11.85% increase in the space of twelve months), the savings on estate agent fees could be vast.

homebuddy® will not only save you money that can be spent on your new property, but also can save time and give you the flexibility to arrange viewings at your convenience.

homebuddy® has been developed by Dan and Andrew, who have extensive knowledge and understanding of the home buying and selling process. They believe that homeowners and private sellers should have a specialist marketplace that gives them a platform to advertise their homes to a wide market. This will enable private sellers to target potential buyers who are actively looking for a new property. Such a platform is currently unavailable with homeowners and private sellers limited to generic websites such as Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace. To fulfil this need, homebuddy® was created.

homebuddy® removes barriers by providing a trustworthy and easy to use platform. In 2021 the Property Ombudsman (3) (TPO) reported that complaints about estate agents were on the rise with top causes of complaints being (1) communication & record keeping, (2) instructions/terms of business/commission/termination, (3) marketing & advertising, (4) complaints handling. Further, the award-winning property trade magazine “Property Industry Eye” reports that TPO anticipates that there will be a further rise in enquiries submitted to them which will be shown in their report to be published later this year. Therefore, by taking matters into your own hands, homebuddy® removes these potential problems.

But, don’t get us confused with online estate agents such as Purple Bricks, Strike, Yopa and Sellmyhome.co.uk as these are all estate agents whereas, homebuddy (in our opinion) is the future.
