How it works

How ClariSale works

One place from adding a property through to completion, with the same information visible to everyone who needs it.

From first question to completion

  1. Add your property

    You answer a set of plain questions: tenure, price basis, council tax band, energy rating, known defects, rights and restrictions, and who lives there. Each answer records where it came from.

  2. Documents and photographs

    In the finished service the document that evidences a fact sits with the fact, and you decide who sees it.

    Today ClariSale stores no seller file of any kind, photographs included. Every property page says so where a photograph would be.

  3. What is confirmed and what is missing

    ClariSale checks the record is complete and that every required fact has a source. You see what is confirmed, what is missing and what to fix first. There is no score.

  4. Review and publication

    A person at ClariSale reviews every fact and its source. Approval freezes exactly what was reviewed, so nothing can quietly change afterwards. The listing is published with the source of each fact beside it.

  5. Verified interest and viewings

    Only buyers whose identity and funding have been established can register interest or ask to view. Each check names what was established, by whom, and how long it holds.

  6. The Transparent Offer Window

    Offers are made inside a window with a published closing time, under rules disclosed before anyone joins. It is not an auction, and nothing binds until contracts are exchanged.

  7. You choose your buyer

    You see each offer with the buyer's checks beside it, so price and readiness sit together. You always choose your buyer, the highest offer is never awarded automatically.

  8. Through to completion

    After you choose, the sale becomes one shared timeline: who owns each step, what it is waiting on, and what happens next. If it falls through, your backup buyer is still there rather than starting again.
ClariSale’s completeness checks and the status of a buyer’s checks are guidance only. They are not a survey, a valuation, a legal opinion or a lending decision.
Questions

Common questions

Is this an auction?
No. Offers are made inside a window with a published closing time, and the rules are disclosed before anyone joins. Nothing binds until contracts are exchanged, and you are never obliged to accept the highest amount.
Do I have to take the highest offer?
No. You always choose your buyer, the highest offer is never awarded automatically. ClariSale records the decision.
Does ClariSale run a credit check on buyers?
No. ClariSale is not a lender and does not score anyone. A buyer shows evidence of how they intend to pay, such as an agreement in principle or proof of funds, and ClariSale records the status and the date.
What do buyers see about me, and what do I see about them?
Buyers see the listing exactly as it was approved, with the source of each fact. You see the status and date of each of a buyer's checks. Neither side ever sees the other's documents.
Are there photographs on a listing?
Not yet, and ClariSale says so on every property page rather than filling the gap with a picture of a different house.
What does it cost?
Not decided yet, and this page will not guess. ClariSale is not open to customers, and the price will be published before it is.

Where ClariSale actually is
  • Accounts and security: working
  • Property listings: working
  • Buyer checks: built, but every check refuses here
  • Viewings: not started
  • Offers: not started
  • Transaction progress: not started

ClariSale is being built and is not ready for customers. It is not registered with HMRC for anti-money-laundering supervision and is not a member of a redress scheme, both of which are required before it can act for anyone. This page will say so until that changes.
