I wonder if you get clubcard points if you buy a house from them...

If you sell via Tesco, who is liable for breaches of The Property Mis descriptions act or Estate Agency Act. Who will offer advice on pricing and offers? This is a valuable professional service, I just sold my house and the agent attended viewings etc.. because i work. I think they do a bit more than sticking an ad on a website.

Obviously cheaper fees to sell your home are tempting. However Estate agents do a lot more than simply prepare particulars and put up a for sale board. I wonder how many sellers will think the Tesco option is such good value when they ve had to vet and show buyers, deal with solicitors, chains, councils/planning depts and mortgage advisors themselves? A good estate agent earns every penny!

Warren Bright, chief executive of propertyfinder.com, said "We see this (Tesco's venture) as a clear attempt to undermine estate agent, who play a valuable role in the property transaction process."

What utter rubbish, the only value in estate agents is to themselves, they lie to both sellers and buyers, the world would be a much happier place if their profession was made illegal and they were forced to get "proper" jobs, plenty of toilets out there need cleaning, especialy this Summer music festival season!

I think Tesco's are just greedy and they should stick to what they know which is food............. leave the property market to the experts.............. Good on FIsh 4 Homes, I will not touch tesco and will use Fish 4 Homes to look for a new home.

Keith, Chigwell,

Well done to Tesco, The Estate agent is a dying breed, this it the way forward and will save the UK public millions of pounds! I will be using this site to sell my house in the next couple of months.

I fully support Tesco - I hope they continue to give Estate Agents everything they deserve.

John, Devon, UK

Selling/buying a home is not as complex as estate agents make out. Armed with the right information (which the Tesco site provides) anyone can do it. GO TESCO and stop those thieving estate agents. I hope they all go out of business.

Sir Terry Leahy, the Tesco chief executive, is in line to pocket an £11.5 million windfall on top of his salary. Tesco are not the little peoples champion. Don't be fooled! The only group to prosper in the long term will be Tesco.

Tesco bringing private online selling into the public eye is a good thing, but people should not be under the illusiion that this is something new - the leading national online property sites offering private home marketing in the UK have been around for 10 years! It's all very well the public moaning about agents and wishing there were alternatives, they just need to open their eyes and look - why continue to use agents over viable direct sell services?

2 comments from people who have almost certainly never sold a house.

Most agents charge 1-1.5% down here not 3%. Why bother with all that hassle for 1% when your house goes up by 11% a year anyway?

Looks like Tesco trying to ride roughshod over everyone again just like they do in every town in the country.

Dave, Brighton, UK

Tesco are just muscling on the private sales market which has been developing strongly over the last ten years. We've successfully sold our last two house privately already using a site called HouseWeb.com. I think it is great that agents are going to get a hammering, but I'm sticking with using specialist private property sale sites rather than a supermarket to sell my home. They take too much of our money already!

Ron Smith, Guidlford,

People can now use Tesco and afford a proper survey before they sell their house. Out go the dishonest and self serving estate agent and dodgy builders who are joined at the hip and are all two faced.

The buying and selling process needs to be more transparent and inormed.

And double clubcard points too!

Tesco enters the race with a site aimed not at the buyers but at the SELLERS!! many commentators have failed to understand that Tesco has leapfrogged the EAs and created a portal where pressurized sellers will list their properties to reach a wider audience and to speed up transactions. Tesco knows that when the market turns a buyer market EAs will favour the disposals of properties based on commissions and bribery. Giving sellers a direct communication link with the buyers will be the unique feature of the site. Tesco, as usual, will lead the way and win

Michele, Richmond,

Good on Tesco any thing that saves the little people cash has got to be good,estate agents at this time are a lot like double glazing a decade ago,a right rip off.

harrold, edinburgh,

Go Tesco,
Take the estate agents down!
They perform no function whatsoever. Parasites!
