Landlord Trader is a specialist website, where - surprise, surprise - landlords trade their properties on line. The site was founded in June 2004 by experienced landlords wanting to overcome the high transaction costs of buying and selling property (particularly tenanted property) and to satisfy the dearth of information for landlords.

The site relies on fellow landlords' honesty and integrity to trade with each other transparently, without hidden costs, and to be an information portal for the landlord community.

It's certainly an interesting marketplace and is undoubtedly a cost-effective alternative to estate agents and property sourcers. The site, which is free to browse, lists all property specifics and allows contact between buyer and seller to cut out any fee-hungry middle men.

Investors can seek out individual properties or opt to buy an entire potfolio. Investors advertise a property from as little as £4.99. If it sells, all that is left to pay is a flat fee of £200.  Compared to traditional estate agents, it's already appealing to investors based here and abroad. Check it out at www.landlordtrader.co.uk
