Sellers will be able to list their homes on a Tesco website for a one-off fee of about £200 – dramatically undercutting estate agents.
TESCO, the UK's biggest supermarket chain, is increasing pressure on estate agents by entering into the lucrative British property market.
Sellers will be able to list their homes on a Tesco website for a one-off fee of about £200 – dramatically undercutting estate agents who charge £3,500 for an average £200,000 house.
People using the property sales service will get a Tesco-branded "for sale" sign to put up outside their home. Currently only seven per cent of houses in Britain are sold privately. Two online estate agents have already uploaded 300,000 properties on to the Tesco system.
The service includes online advertising and the supermarket says it will enable sellers to effectively become their own estate agent.
