The internet a convenient place to sell your home.

If you decide to sell your property online or buy online it is of value considering the following points. With a few of the more user responsive sites you are able to place the details of your private home sale directly onto the page that your home is being displayed this means that if you are a bit of a night owl or work through out the day you are able to change your details as and when you feel like it rather than fitting in with the site owners schedule. This ensures that you can edit your details at any time be it sizes, descriptions or more importantly the price of your property. Normally there is some sort of waver saying that the information is purely provided by the client and doesn't necessarily hold the full particulars.

When you are measuring up, make sure you give clear descripions of what measurement you are giving, from a purchasers point of view it is always worth questioning anything you are unsure of and most private sellers are more than happy to answer any questions. The website that a house is being shown on will not have carried out a appraisal on the property and it will as a rule be upto the purchaser to have a surveyors report done on the house before exchanging contracts. Always use a certified contractor to test the appliances and equipment in a house, this will allow you to negotiate price if something is amiss. As a seller it is of value having any service information available to allow you to negotiate a better price. Make sure you employ a solicitor to look into all legal issues relating to the property (e.g. title, tenure, planning permission etc) as these are expert issues that will not be looked at by websites. A solicitor also sorts out with the seller what things (e.g. carpets, curtains, fixtures & fittings, sheds etc) will or will not be included in the sale.
In other words, you must verify for yourself all information before acting on it, in particular the current asking price, sizes of rooms, ownership, freehold, extent of refurbishments and any issues of specific importance to you.

If you have a House for sale by owner it may well be worth Homestaging to make your property stand out.
