FAQs

Distinct Homes is a modern property platform that allows homeowners to sell their property without paying traditional estate agent fees. Sellers choose from flexible packages and only pay for the services they want, while still gaining professional marketing exposure and buyer vetting.

Distinct Homes allows you to list and market your property yourself while still benefiting from professional tools.

The process is simple:

1. Choose a package (Distinct Basic, Distinct Assist, or Distinct Premium).
2. Upload your property details and images.
3. Your property is published online and marketed to potential buyers.
4. Buyers contact you directly or through the platform.
5. You negotiate and agree the sale without expensive agent commissions.

Distinct Homes offers fixed-price packages instead of percentage commissions.

Traditional estate agents typically charge 1%–3% of the property value, which can cost thousands. With Distinct Homes, you simply select a package and only pay for the services you choose.

Distinct Homes offers three flexible packages:

Distinct Basic: Ideal for confident sellers who want maximum control.
Distinct Assist: Includes additional support and marketing help.
Distinct Premium: Our most popular package, offering enhanced promotion and buyer vetting.

This allows sellers to choose the level of support that suits them.

Distinct Homes is ideal for homeowners who want to:

• Avoid estate agent commission fees
• Sell their property privately
• Maintain control of negotiations

Most properties can be listed very quickly once the details and images are submitted. Once approved, your property will appear online and begin attracting enquiries.

Once you receive an offer and accept it, the sale moves into the legal conveyancing stage, where solicitors handle contracts, searches, and completion.

Yes. Regardless of whether you use an estate agent or sell privately, you will still need a solicitor or licensed conveyancer to handle the legal process. They manage the contracts, legal checks, and transfer of ownership.

Buyers can contact you directly through the listing platform. Depending on the package you choose, enquiries may be filtered or vetted first to ensure they are genuine.

With Distinct Homes, you remain in control of the viewing process. You can:

• Arrange viewing times directly with buyers
• Show the property yourself
• Manage the schedule to suit your availability

Some sellers prefer this because they can present their home personally and answer questions directly.

If several buyers are interested, you can invite multiple offers and choose the one that best suits you. This might be the highest offer or the buyer who is most ready to proceed with the purchase.
