Browse property and connect directly with owners in the UK
FMDirect gives buyers a public property browsing route without requiring login, then provides controlled contact access when a buyer wants to connect with the owner.
Buying property directly from an owner
Some buyers search for houses for sale by owner, private property listings or homes advertised without a traditional estate-agent route. FMDirect is designed to make that first connection clearer. You can browse public property information, compare listed homes and decide whether a property is relevant before registering.
How buyer contact access works
When you want to contact an owner, register and confirm your account, select the property and submit the structured contact request. Contact Access is a separate FMDirect platform service. The owner reviews the request and your direct details remain hidden until approval and payment entitlement checks are complete.
Carry out your own buying checks
Direct contact does not replace due diligence. Buyers remain responsible for affordability, mortgage arrangements, surveys, legal searches, title checks, viewing decisions and negotiations. FMDirect does not hold purchase funds, negotiate offers, provide legal advice or guarantee a property.
Useful searches when looking for a home
Instead of searching only by a platform name, buyers often search phrases such as property for sale by owner, private house sale, direct property listings, houses for sale without estate agents, or property for sale in a particular town or postcode. FMDirect public listing search supports location, postcode, property type, bedrooms and price filters as inventory grows.
