Module 12: Give the Locals First Dibs

Once you've decided to prioritise local exposure, the next question is: how?

Keep families, friends and communities together, and the seasonal Airbnb & HMO investors out!

If you want to advertise your home locally without using an estate agent, the Beat The Property Agent property selling portal will help you do that.

There are no guarantees, just like with an agent. However, we encourage you to give it a try yourself first – you may be pleasantly surprised with the results, and you could potentially save yourself thousands of pounds.

A survey carried out by Savills in 2020 shows a high number of homeowners or renters moved within three miles, as people look to minimise the disruption to their daily working life, school and social routines.

So don’t worry about not being able to post on the more well-known national sites via an agent in the first instance. Give it a try yourself first – you have nothing to lose, and you never know what could happen. Spread the word and chances are you won’t need to.

Advertise using any or all of the following methods:

  • Register on the Nextdoor app (Nextdoor is a hyper-local social networking app that connects people with the residents, businesses, and public services in their immediate neighbourhood.
  • Facebook Marketplace and Facebook local area community noticeboards, including Spotted pages.
  • Making an announcement on your personal Facebook page.
  • Asking your family and friends to share your news/advert/posts.
  • Online forums or groups you are an active member of.
  • Local notice boards in shop windows, and near bus stops, community centres and supermarkets – basically anywhere that has a public noticeboard with high levels of traffic
