Frequently asked questions

Yes. Many homeowners would consider selling if approached correctly — they simply haven't listed because nobody has asked. Intentory lets you register genuine interest in a specific address, street, or area, and we can contact the owner on your behalf with a personal letter. This is known as an off-market approach.

Off-market property refers to homes that are sold or agreed privately, without being listed on Rightmove, Zoopla, or through an estate agent. These transactions are more common than most people realise — particularly in sought-after streets and villages where owners prefer discretion over a public sale.

Registering buyer interest is completely free. There's no subscription and no commitment. You only pay if you choose to take an active step: owner approach (£29), street outreach (£99), or area outreach (£199).

When you pay for an owner approach (£29), we research the registered owner of your target property and send them a personally addressed letter on your behalf. The letter explains your genuine interest and includes a private response link so the owner can respond in confidence — without any obligation to sell.

Street outreach (£99) sends a personal letter to every homeowner on your target street, letting them know a serious buyer is interested in their road. It's ideal when you want to live on a specific street but aren't fixed on a particular house.

Area outreach (£199) broadcasts your buying interest across a full postcode district or defined area. It's suited to buyers who have a clear target area but flexibility on the specific street or property type.

Yes. You can register as many interests as you like — across different addresses, streets, postcodes, or areas. Each interest is tracked independently and you'll be notified separately for any matches.

The owner's letter includes a private response link. If they respond positively, we connect them directly with the buyer through Intentory's messaging system. If they're not interested, you're notified and can decide whether to try a different approach.

Sellers enter their postcode to check whether any buyers have already registered interest at their address, street, or area — for free, with no commitment. If demand exists, they can register as privately available and broadcast to matched buyers for £49, without any public listing.

The seller broadcast (£49) notifies every matched buyer in our database that your property is privately available. Matched buyers are those who have registered interest at your exact address, on your street, in your postcode, or in your area.

No. Checking demand is completely free and creates zero obligation. You're simply finding out whether buyers are registered. You decide at every subsequent step whether to proceed.

Yes. Intentory is designed to connect buyers and sellers privately, without the need for an agent. If a match progresses to a transaction, you'd instruct a solicitor for conveyancing — but no agent is required at any stage.

Yes. Registering as privately available does not create any public listing. Your address is only shared with buyers you agree to connect with.

Intentory matches buyer interests to seller properties at four levels: exact address, street, postcode, and area. When a match is found, both parties are notified privately. The more specific the match, the stronger the connection.

Intentory covers all of England and Wales. Buyers can register interest at any valid UK postcode, and sellers at any residential address.

No. Intentory is a private demand platform, not an estate agency. We do not value properties, conduct viewings, or act as an agent in any transaction. We connect buyers and sellers privately and facilitate the initial approach — what happens from there is between the two parties.

Yes. Individual buyer registrations are never publicly visible. Sellers only see that demand exists at their address — not who the buyers are — until both parties agree to connect.

Yes, a free account is required to register interests or check demand. This lets us notify you of matches and keep your registrations active over time.
