Question 1

What is open for offer?

Accepted Answer

open for offer is a UK property marketplace where anyone can make an offer on any home - whether it is listed for sale or not. Every property has a public, anonymised order book showing real offers, so buyers see what they are competing against and sellers see genuine demand.

Question 2

How do offers work if a home is not for sale?

Accepted Answer

You make your offer and we put it to the homeowner. They can accept, counter, or ignore it - the seller is always in control. Many homeowners who would never list will still consider the right offer.

Question 3

Is open for offer free to use?

Accepted Answer

Browsing, searching, and getting a market estimate are free, with no email required until you make an offer. Sellers can test the market for free, list from 49.95 GBP a month, or choose a managed sale at 0.5-0.8% plus VAT.

Question 4

How accurate are your property estimates?

Accepted Answer

Every estimate is a market estimate built from comparable sales, Land Registry sold prices and ONS property data, shown with a range and a confidence level - never a single unexplained number. Estimates are timestamped so you always know how current they are.

Question 5

Do I need an estate agent to sell through open for offer?

Accepted Answer

No. You can list and manage your sale yourself, or choose a managed sale where we match you with a vetted local agent. Either way, offers arrive through the same transparent order book.
