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.

Selling in Walthamstow: Getting Your E17 Home Ready

Name: Pineapple Nest App
Author: Pineapple Nest Tech Ltd

By PINEAPPLE NEST · Published 2026-09-24

Many people buying in Walthamstow are leaving a small flat in Hackney or Islington. They want a garden, a spare room and a quick Victoria line ride.

If your home offers any of those, say so clearly.

Show what buyers came for

Take photos of the garden in daylight and tidy the spare room so it looks usable. Mention the walk to Walthamstow Central, the market and the nearest park.

Small, honest details sell a home better than big claims.

Sort the paperwork

If your terrace was converted into flats, find the lease and any freehold documents now. If you added a loft or extension, dig out the building control certificate.

Missing paperwork is one of the main reasons London sales slow down or fall through.

Know your real number

Check what similar homes on your street sold for on the Land Registry data. Then decide the price you would genuinely move for.

Having that number clear in your head makes every conversation with a buyer easier.

List quietly, see who is interested

Every house has a price. Why not list yours to see who is interested?

On Pineapple Nest you talk to buyers directly, and you can list even if you are already with an agent. See how it works.
