Getting Started as a Buyer on Matchouse

Why Use Matchouse as a Buyer?

Matchouse gives buyers the tools to take control of their search:

• Browse public properties or submit your profile to be matched

• Connect directly with landlords or estate agents

• Get notified about off-market opportunities

• Send offers securely and manage communication in one place

• Book professionals to help with surveys, removals, legal checks, and more

🏡 No fees. No middlemen. Just smart, transparent connections to properties that match your goals.

Step-by-Step: Getting Started as a Buyer

Step 1: Create Your Account

• Go to matchouse.com

• Sign up using your email address

• Choose “Buyer” as your role

• Verify your email to activate your account

Already registered with a different role? You can switch to “Buyer” anytime from your profile settings.

Step 2: Complete Your Buyer Profile

Help sellers and agents understand what you're looking for.

Include:

• Areas you want to buy in

• Type of property (flat, house, new build, etc.)

• Budget range

• Move-in or completion timeline

• Your position (e.g. mortgage approved, first-time buyer, cash buyer)

• Optional: short description to stand out to sellers

💡 Verified buyer profiles are prioritised in the smart matching system.

Two Ways to Find Properties

You can either search manually or let Matchouse do the work for you:

🔍 Some properties are never publicly listed. Your profile lets you discover these exclusive opportunities.

Once your profile is active:

• You’ll receive suggested matches based on your preferences

• You can review property listings or get contacted directly

• Use the chat to ask questions, arrange viewings, or negotiate

• Make secure offers directly through the platform

📨 All activity stays in one place so you never lose track of conversations.

FAQs

Can I contact sellers directly?

Yes. If a listing is public, you can reach out instantly. For shared listings, sellers or agents may contact you first based on your profile.

What if I’m not ready to buy yet?

No problem. You can still create a profile and browse properties. You’ll only receive matches that fit your timing.

Is this only for residential buyers?

No — Matchouse can also help with commercial or investment property searches. Use your profile to state your goals clearly.
