For buyers

Buy your next home.
Pay £0 commission, always.

Holdkey brings your mortgage, offer, survey and conveyancing into one dashboard — and protects your money in FCA-authorised escrow until everyone confirms the sale is ready to complete.

The problem

Buying a home means chasing five different people for one answer.

No idea where things actually stand

Your solicitor, surveyor and mortgage advisor each give you different updates on different days — nobody shows you the full picture.

The estate agent works for the seller, not you

Nobody is coordinating the whole journey on your behalf, so it's on you to chase everyone and piece it together yourself.

Sales fall through late, with no warning

After months of waiting, a purchase can collapse with no signs visible to you until it's already happened.

Why Holdkey

Everything you need to buy, in one place.

Buyers pay £0. Always.

No commission, no fee, no cost at any stage of your purchase — from your first offer to the day you get your keys.

One dashboard, real-time updates

Every step of your purchase — mortgage, offer, survey, conveyancing, exchange — updated as it happens, not by phone call.

Your money is protected from day one

Funds sit in FCA-authorised escrow from the moment you pay, released only when everyone involved confirms the sale is ready to complete.

Browse and offer directly

Search and make offers on properties listed on Holdkey — no juggling Rightmove, Zoopla and estate agent phone calls separately.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do buyers pay any fees on Holdkey?

No. Buyers pay £0 to use Holdkey at every stage — browsing listings, making offers, and completing a purchase are all free.

How do I know my purchase money is safe?

Your funds are held in an FCA-authorised escrow account, not paid directly to the seller. Money is only released once all five parties on the transaction — buyer, seller, solicitor, surveyor and mortgage advisor — have digitally confirmed the sale is ready to complete.

Can I see where my purchase actually stands?

Yes. Holdkey shows your transaction's live status across all 5 steps — finances, offer, survey, conveyancing, and exchange — in one dashboard, so you're not relying on separate phone updates from your solicitor, surveyor and mortgage advisor.

Do I still need my own solicitor and surveyor?

Yes — Holdkey coordinates the transaction but doesn't replace the professionals involved. You can find a solicitor, surveyor or mortgage advisor through Holdkey's professional directory, or bring your own; they join your transaction and work from the same shared record.
