Could Yopa be the estate agents for you?
Yopa claim a 'smooth move' if you sell through them.
They offer a complete service covering everything traditional estate agents cover, and they're also open evenings and weekends. To sell your home through them, you only need to pay one fixed fee. There's no hidden fees and no commission. Furthermore, you only need to pay once you've sold, but you can choose to pay upfront if you prefer.
Although they are an online estate agency, they do have local estate agents with knowledge of the area. Using YopaHub, their online tool, you can keep track of viewing requests, offers, and feedback. Yopa have partners who can help you with mortgages and conveyancing, and every customer receives a free utilities switching service.
How Yopa Works
Yopa provide a free valuation, which is the first step of their selling journey:
- Valuation - book for your local Yopa estate agent to visit who will value your home and let you know the reasons behind the valuation.
- Decisions, decisions - once you're ready to list your home on the market just let Yopa know
- Plan - Yopa offer 3 different ways to pay; upfront, monthly, or once sold
- Advert - your local agent who you met at your valuation will be the one to create your property listing. This will appear on Rightmove, Zoopla, and PrimeLocation, where 98% of buyers start their search
- Viewing - you can either host viewings or pay a fee for your Yopa agent to hold them
- Conveyancing and mortgage - Yopa can provide help with these
- Sell - with your approval, Yopa can sort out offers and negotiate the best price

Independent reviews of our service from reviews.co.uk
Whilst we weren’t able to complete a sale for different reasons the service was excellent! Quick response; no sales pressure; very polite and informative! Would like to think we could do business in the future! Highly recommend! Thank you!
This firm started off with good intentions made a poor offer but we could have work with this, filled all forms from the solicitor sent off all Id they wanted two weeks later reduced there offer to a steal the property that was valued at £450.000 they offered £240.000 very disappointing beware of this firm
Day light robbery, should be thoroughly ashamed at attempt to steal my home for a pittance, preying on people who are vulnerable, the offer made was derisory and way off the mark of local valuations
Nick was very helpful and friendly. He explained the process in details. I am still in process of selling and so far I feel really comfortable knowing I can count on Nick. I wish every service I am receiving in life would be like that. Definitely I would recommend.
really help us alot
