What is Pineapple Nest?

Pineapple Nest is a UK property platform that connects buyers and sellers directly — no traditional services, no commission. Free for our first 2,000 members, then £100 a year. Pineapple Nest Tech Ltd is a technology company, not a traditional service. We don't provide valuations, negotiate sales, or handle transactions. We simply give you the tools to do it yourself.

Is Pineapple Nest really free?

It's free for our first 2,000 members, whether you're a buyer or seller. After that, it's £100 a year for everyone. No commission, ever.

How does Pineapple Nest work?

Sellers list their property on Pineapple Nest for free. Buyers tell us what they're looking for — area, budget, bedrooms — and we match them with relevant listings. Both sides connect directly through the platform.

Is it safe to buy or sell on Pineapple Nest?

Profile photo checks support community trust, not legal identity verification or proof of ownership or funds. Buyer readiness is self-declared. Use your solicitor for legal checks, keep financial documents private and take normal viewing safety precautions.

What does the profile photo check establish?

Pineapple Nest uses a profile photo check as a community trust check, not legal identity verification, proof of ownership or proof of funds. Solicitors carry out legal identity and anti-money-laundering checks; buyer budgets and readiness are self-declared, not independently verified.

How do I know the price is accurate?

We use a two-tier pricing system. Sellers who have uploaded a chartered surveyor's valuation display a 'Verified Price' badge — backed by an independent professional, not an agent's guess. Sellers without a survey can still list with a 'Guide Price'. In Scotland this is part of the Home Report; in England and Wales we encourage the same standard — the Pineapple Standard.

Will my property appear on Rightmove, Zoopla, or OnTheMarket?

No — Pineapple Nest is an independent platform. Your listing won't appear on Rightmove, Zoopla, or OnTheMarket. Instead, your property is marketed directly to matched buyers within our growing community.

Do I need a solicitor?

Yes. In any UK property transaction, you need a solicitor or conveyancer to handle the legal process. In Scotland this includes missives, title checks, and settlement; in England and Wales it's exchange of contracts and completion. We recommend instructing one early.
