No. We're a technology platform that connects sellers and buyers directly - no agent in the middle, no commission, no friction. We believe estate agents create friction in the existing UK housing market that restricts it to a fraction of its potential size and liquidity. We've built UABODE specifically to sidestep agents and remove that friction.

No. You'll create your HomeHub, build your listing and UUFI, and your home becomes discoverable - to the right buyers, on your terms. You can step back at any time using the stealth toggle - no contract, no lock-in, no questions asked.

We do ask that if you're in the first two pilot groups, you're genuinely intending to sell - not just exploring. The pilot is intended to prove what we’ve built, with committed sellers - pioneers paving the way for the rest of the dormant market.

The first group is 10-15 sellers. A second group of similar size joins approximately two to three months later. It's deliberately small and closely supported.

We select sellers based on a few straightforward criteria: your property needs to be in Brighton & Hove, you need to be genuinely intending to sell rather than just exploring — this is specific to the pilot, where we need completed transactions to prove the selling functionality — and you need to be comfortable selling without a traditional estate agent. Beyond that, we're looking for people who are open to doing things differently — early adopters who understand they're part of something new and are willing to engage with the process fully.

There's no complex application. We have a short conversation with everyone who expresses interest, and we'll tell you quickly whether the pilot is the right fit for you right now.

Post-pilot, UABODE will be open to homeowners at every point on the spectrum — from "ready to sell tomorrow" to "just curious what my home might be worth." That's precisely what Spectrum Control is designed for.

You’ll have more support than you’d expect, by design. You'll have a dedicated pilot concierge - a real person - available throughout. The AI Assistant handles day-to-day questions. And the platform itself guides you through every step.

The UK property market is hyperlocal. The foundation of our approach is a physical-digital bridge that leverages that hyperlocality to deliver buyer reach we believe will match - and in many cases exceed - what the estate agent and Rightmove combination can offer.

UUFI – UABODE Up-Front Information - is your property’s comprehensive material information pack - a detailed document that buyers see before anything else. It's based on the industry-standard BASPI form but enhanced. It tells serious buyers everything material about your home at the outset - avoiding surprises later, speeding up conveyancing, and making fall-throughs far less likely.

Completing it also signals to us that you're a serious seller - it takes a little effort, but our AI Assistant helps you every step of the way. And once it’s done, it’s done - for good.

It’s the single most effective thing you can do to protect your sale - before it’s even agreed.

Spectrum Control is what makes UABODE fundamentally different from every other way of selling. Instead of the binary cliff-edge of traditional selling - you're either on the market or you're not - Spectrum Control lets you choose your level of visibility and engagement on your own terms. During the pilot, you have two key controls: whether to display your asking price upfront, and the stealth toggle - the ability to step back from the market instantly, no explanation needed. The full range of Spectrum Control features rolls out immediately post-pilot.

Once you and your buyer reach agreement, UABODE connects you directly with our partner conveyancer Alecto — or your own choice of conveyancer, it's entirely up to you. Your UUFI has already done much of the legal groundwork, which means the process moves significantly faster than a conventional sale.

If you go with our partner conveyancer Alecto, your UUFI transfers directly into their case management system - we both work to the industry-leading ODTF data standard - and they update you on progress and milestones.

UABODE does not receive any referral fees from Alecto for instructing your case. We partner with them because they offer the best, fastest service for our network. You are entirely free to use your own choice of conveyancer if you prefer.

You also have the option of a reservation agreement — a mutual financial commitment that further reduces the risk of your sale collapsing before completion.

HomeHub is the part of UABODE that stays with you for life.

It's your home's complete digital record — organised, intelligent, and always up to date. Document Safe, maintenance records, improvements tracker, reminders, timeline — everything in one place, permanently. None of it costs you anything.

But HomeHub is more than organisation. The more you add, the better it understands your home and your finances — and the more it can do for you. When your energy tariff becomes uncompetitive, when your fixed rate is about to expire, when a maintenance issue needs attention — HomeHub tells you. We're building toward a fully agentic HomeHub that doesn't just surface opportunities but acts on them, with your permission. For a typical homeowner, we believe that could be worth thousands of pounds a year.

And when the time comes to sell — whether that's planned for years or arrives unexpectedly — HomeHub means you're ready instantly. Your UUFI already complete. Your documents in order. Your home's story is told. There’s no scramble, no delay, no agent needed to get you started.

When you do sell, your HomeHub chapter duplicates to your buyer. You begin a fresh one with your next home. One continuous record of your life as a homeowner — property by property, chapter by chapter.
