Why do we offer free property listings?
We believe it's important to be very transparent as to why it's free to list on MyOwnMove.
-
Our hosting costs are VERY low. To host this site costs us around £10 a month. OK, so this money needs to come
from some where, right? That's true, it does. You may also have noticed that there are links at the bottom of the page
to a website for a company called My Own Limited. This is the company than owns and runs My Own Limited. Now, it's very
important that My Own Limited's site be hosted, regardless of the cost. The money to host MyOwnMove comes from My Own Limited.
Their income is via other activies such as IT Consultancy, web development for other clients, etc... Feel free to visit My Own Limited's
web site for further information.

We have no development costs. Again, because MyOwnMove is owned by an IT Consultancy (My Own Limited), all development
is done in-house. This saves us thousands of pounds in development costs due to using our own project managers and web designers.
-
We started MyOwnMove to save everyone money. That's right. We started MyOwnMove because we were sick and tired of the fees charged by
estate agents. So why not save you even more money by not charging you?
-
There is advertising on this site. There are small sections of advertising on this site. Most of it is within the Helpful Links section. These links
are provided by Google. Whenever anyone clicks on those links it generates a small revenue for My Own Limited. This money is then ploughed back into advertising on places like Google, Microsoft Live etc...
So there you go. That's why it's free to list on MyOwnMove. Although how some sites have the cheek to be charging anything over £50 for a glorified advert is beyond us!
Obviously there are downsides to this. For example, we don't have a dedicated support phone line (support is available via email though!), nor can we take photos of your properties for you, and we can't afford to advertise on Fish4 etc..
Compare Us!
We are very confident of the quality you will find on this site, and the amount of features available to you on MyOwnMove.
We'd also like to stress that your information is totally safe!!! We do not sell, or pass on, your information! Ever!
We would link to a few of the other private property sales sites so you can judge for yourself (some of them charge an arm and a leg for very little!) but we don't want to promote
anyone in particular. So why not check out these independent sites that compare the various private home and property sales sites?
http://www.houseadvert.com/ - House Advert - they have a nice table comparing sites and features.
http://www.private-house-sales.info/ - Private House Sales - They have a wizard to help you find the site suitable to you.
Note that we are in no way affiliated with either site, nor are we responsible for their content.
Important Tip
If you find another property site you like, check that they display their Company Registration number, as well as the address of their registered office. This is a very good way to check if
a company is legimate. If they fail to display this information then they are breaking the law! (more information here) So can you really trust them? Doubtful.
For your convenience, our particulars are proudly displayed on our Contact Us page.
