List your home
in ten minutes.
You write the listing. You set the price. You speak to buyers. We look after the plumbing: prompts for the material information buyers expect, EPC reminders, the map, the local schools and travel times.
The case for it
If you're up for it.
Estate agents earn their fee for a reason. They photograph the home, write the description, take the calls, run the viewings, qualify the offers and chase the chain. For many sellers the time bought back is comfortably worth the commission, and we'd never tell you otherwise. A good local agent who sells a lot of houses can genuinely make life easier.
But selling a house isn't, in itself, mysterious work. The agent doesn't know your home better than you do. They haven't lived in it, walked to the station on a wet Tuesday in February, or watched the kitchen catch the sun at four o'clock in July. Buyers want to hear what it's like to live there. You're the better source.
People build their own extensions. They represent themselves in court. They strip their bikes back to the frame in the kitchen on a Sunday. None of those are the easy option in every case. The option exists, and a great many people prefer it. Selling your own home sits in the same category. The work isn't mysterious and none of the individual steps requires a professional qualification.
What it involves
- An EPC. One phone call, around £60 to £120. The certificate lasts ten years and you may already have one.
- A description and some photos. A modern phone camera is usually good enough. We'll prompt you for the bits buyers look for.
- Talking to people who'd like to see the house. You answer messages on your own schedule. Viewings happen when it suits you.
- Receiving offers and saying yes, no, or how about this. Price negotiation is still negotiation: offers, counter-offers, conditions, timing and judgement. The legal weight comes later, with your conveyancer.
- Handing the paperwork to a conveyancing solicitor. Which happens whether you used an agent or not. They're the people doing that work either way.
How your listing stays live
Your listing stays live for free. Each week we check in to confirm it should stay up, with one click. If a check-in is missed the listing lapses, and we may take lapsed listings down to keep the site current.
Wycka does the bits where automation genuinely helps. We prompt for the material-information disclosures a UK residential listing is expected to show, so buyers see the key facts up front and your listing is less likely to omit something they'd reasonably need. We render your photos on every device, pull in the local schools, crime figures and travel times, and keep the listing live while you confirm each week that it should stay up. Free while we grow our stock. List now and you stay free, and we'll give plenty of notice before any fee ever applies to anyone who joins later. No commission on the sale, no tie-in, no minimum term, no fee per enquiry.
Wycka is the right call for sellers who'd rather do the work and keep the money. It isn't the easy option, because there isn't one. There is the option where much of the work is done by someone you pay a percentage of the sale to, and the option where the work is done by you. If you'd rather the first, we'd recommend a good local agent and we mean that. If you'd rather the second, the steps are below.

Your responsibilities as a UK seller
- You normally need to order an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before marketing your home, unless an exemption applies. Some listed or protected buildings may be exempt, but it isn't automatic. The exemption depends on whether compliance would unacceptably alter the building's character.
- Your listing should include the price (with a recognised qualifier), the tenure, and the council tax band, along with other material facts a buyer would reasonably want to see before enquiring: charges, restrictions, flood risk, cladding, mining, rights of way, restrictive covenants, anything else that could shape the offer.
- Information you provide must be accurate and not misleading. Missing, unclear or incorrect information can delay or collapse a sale, lead to buyer claims, and may create consumer-protection or Trading Standards risk, particularly if your listing could be regarded as a commercial practice.
- Wycka prompts for the main facts a residential listing is expected to show, but you remain responsible for the accuracy and completeness of what you publish. Your conveyancing solicitor handles the formal legal paperwork once a sale is agreed.
