Areas We Cover in Leicester
Selling your house in Leicester without an estate agent
Most buyers looking in Leicester start on Rightmove, and that is where OffAgent puts your home. You list through us from £99 a month, write your own description and set your asking price. Buyers enquire straight from the Rightmove listing — they don't need to sign up to anything — and the enquiry comes to you.
You arrange and host the viewings, which means buyers hear about the house from the person who knows it best. When offers come in you negotiate directly, then hand over to your solicitor. There is no commission taken from your sale price and no tie-in contract.
Our guide on listing your home on Rightmove without an agent walks through each step, and our plans and pricing page shows exactly what each option includes.
Looking for an estate agent in Leicester?
High-street estate agents in Leicester, as elsewhere in the UK, usually charge a percentage of the final sale price, typically taken from your proceeds on completion. Our estate agent fees explained guide covers how those fees are structured, and the fee calculator shows what one would cost on your price.
An agent can be the right choice if you would rather not handle viewings yourself. If you are happy to show buyers round and talk to them directly, OffAgent is the alternative: the same Rightmove exposure for a flat monthly fee.

Why Leicester sellers skip the agent
Save £2,964 on a typical sale
Leicester homes average £245,000. At 1.25%, that's £3,063 in agent fees — money that stays in your pocket with OffAgent's flat £99 fee.
Properties sell in 28 days on average
Leicester's market moves at a steady pace. Sellers here don't need to pay thousands for an agent when buyer demand is already consistent.
You keep full control of your sale
No tie-in contracts, no lock-in periods, no pressure to accept a lower offer. You decide the price, run the viewings, and negotiate directly with buyers.
Same portals, fraction of the cost
Your Leicester property can appear on Rightmove and OnTheMarket — the same places estate agents list — but without handing over 1.25% of your sale price to get there.
