How do we differ from estate agents?

Traditional estate agents and marketing sources target the owner occupier market, which typically places negative value on tenants.

Conversely, Landlord Trader provides access to the Landlord community, which places significant extra value on well let property.

How do we differ from property sourcing companies?

Property sourcing companies tend to have a regional focus and be extremely expensive.

Landlord Trader provides a low cost service that reaches Landlords across the UK and beyond.

How do we differ from auctions?

Property auctions are conducted in such a way that the exchange of contracts is effectively carried out "on the hammer".

This can involve a significant risk to the buyer as there is little room for manoeuvre if the property does not turn out to be as advertised.

The process of buying a property through Landlord Trader, although relying on the integrity of its members, extends the same protection to the buyer as if the purchase had been conducted through an estate agent (without the same levels of fees of course!).

If there is a good reason (usually shown up in a surveyor's report) for the buyer not to be satisfied that the property is as advertised, he or she may still withdraw. As contracts have not been exchanged, there are no such penalties.
