Let’s sell your home free. Strike is here to redefine the way you move. After 200 years of high fees and pointless jargon, the industry needs to change — and we’re the ones changing it. We bring together local expertise and technology to make moving easy. And free.
Selling your home for free is at the heart of what we do. We work differently than traditional estate agents. We use technology to be more effective and don’t have expensive high street branches, so we can pass the savings onto you.
We recommend useful services from our partners along the way — and if you choose one of these optional services, our partner pays us a referral fee. And if you don’t choose to use them, we’ll still sell your home for free. No pressure, no awkwardness — just a fantastic, free service.
