EstateRate is a UK platform that matches homeowners and landlords with vetted independent local estate agents. The service is completely free for homeowners.
When a homeowner or landlord wants to sell or let their property, they enter their postcode on EstateRate. The platform automatically matches them with vetted independent local estate agents covering their area. Those agents then contact the homeowner directly.
EstateRate is different from other comparison sites because it only works with independent local estate agents — not national chains or online-only agencies. Every agent is manually reviewed and approved before they can receive leads.
Independent local estate agents consistently outperform national chains on key metrics. They achieve on average 1.8% higher sale prices, sell properties 6 days faster, and have higher average customer ratings. They also typically charge lower fees — around 1% compared to 1.5–2% for national chains.
EstateRate was founded on the belief that independent agents deserve better access to homeowners who are actively looking to sell or let — and that homeowners deserve to know about the independent agents in their area.
EstateRate is available across the United Kingdom. The platform is currently signing up independent agents across England, with a focus on building coverage in the South East. Homeowners anywhere in the UK can use the platform — if no agents are yet active in their area, EstateRate will notify them when they are.
