You set the number. You choose how far it goes.
Tell us privately and nothing moves. Or put a figure on record against the home — never your name.
Two ways in, from just looking to naming your figure.
Just looking
Register interest
Tell us quietly. Nothing reaches the owner until you say so.
How registering works
A short form: what you’d pay, where you are in your own move, and how to reach you. Then it stops. Nothing reaches the owner, nobody approaches them, and your name stays with us. It’s the quietest of the three — a private record of your interest that you can act on later. Register, and nothing moves until you say so.

Your figure is recorded against the home — never your name.
How tempting the owner works
You name a figure and we record it against the home — never your name, never how to reach you. It isn’t an offer and it commits you to nothing. It’s the question most homes have never been asked. Tempt the owner, and let the number do the talking.

How we reached £270,000
Built from this home’s own price paid record: it last sold for £228,000 on 1 Aug 2023, 3 yrs ago. That figure is carried forward at a slower and a faster rate of house price growth, and those two rates are what produce the two ends of the range.
It is a model’s estimate — not a survey, a valuation, or a visit. The range is the gap between those two growth rates, which is why it widens the longer ago the last sale was. It is not a measured margin of error. Updated 30 Jul 2026.

How does open for offer actually work?
Roughly 1.2 million UK homes change hands each year, out of about25 million. Every portal shows you that 5%. We work with the other 95% — homes whose owners have not listed, and in most cases have not been asked.
How a private sale starts
Buyer verifies their interest
A buyer registers private, non-binding interest and verifies their identity.
Homeowner claims the property
The homeowner proves their connection to the property and sees anonymised demand.
Both parties consent to connect
A conversation only starts when the buyer and the homeowner each agree to it.
Property information is prepared and shared securely
Key documents and property facts are gathered and shared through a private channel.
Viewing, negotiation and conveyancing can begin
From here the sale proceeds like any private transaction, at both parties’ pace.
Registering interest or claiming a property commits neither party to anything.
Will the owner know it’s me?
No. Your name, your budget and your ceiling stay with us, and nothing that identifies you leaves us unless you both agree to talk.
