No. Personal information on buyers registered on Mutual is kept private, you will not be able to access buyers’ information in order to contact them. However, if you decide to instruct a Mutual member agency, they will receive the contact details of all registered buyers who have ‘Super liked’ your property.
There is no need as this is automatically done for you! All the information you add to your account, such as your name and address, will never appear on searches to other users. Only the first part of your property's postcode is shown to buyers and your identity is protected. However, estate agents will have access to your contact details once you have requested a market appraisal.
When ready, you can choose from a range of Mutual’s trusted member agencies to request one or more market appraisals (a valuation). You can choose up to 3 agencies via our 'Request an Appraisal' feature. Once an agency has visited your property they can add extra photos, confirm the price and place a 'District' in your property profile which you can choose to use or not!
No. You are free to choose an estate agent not registered with Mutual. However, that estate agent will not have access to details of the prospective interested buyers gathered through Mutual. We can only share these with a Mutual registered agency.
The anonymised information our registered agencies receive allows them, once instructed to filter your preferences on your behalf.
FAQ's For Buyers
When you see the properties available through conducting a search on our platform, you can choose to either ‘Like’ or ‘Superlike’ it or click ‘Not Interested’.
This gives anonymised feedback for sellers/agents to consider how interested prospective buyers are in their property. ‘Liking’ a property signals to home owners you are mildly interested and would like to keep informed, while ‘Super liking’ a property means you want to be contacted as soon as this property becomes available to purchase.

No. However, by ‘Super liking’ a property, you will be informed as soon as that property is available to purchase ( if via a Mutual member agency) and your contact details will be automatically shared with the estate agency representing that property.
No. Your contact details will only be shared with estate agents if you have chosen to do so, by using the 'Super Liking' feature.

Our platform saves every property you have viewed, so you can revisit them as and when you like from the 'Manage My Preference Lists' tab in your dashboard.
