As long as you are careful, it should be as safe as marketing through an agent. Just don't let anyone view without checking a few details first. If someone is genuinely interested in viewing your property for the right reasons, they will have no cause to feel offended by you being careful and checking details. Read through the link I have provided and be as cautious as you feel is necessary.

If by ‘privately’ you mean without using the services of an estate agent, then yes. You’ll still need to use a solicitor who is employed to protect your interests so from a legal stand point, you should be fine. As long as your happy to negotiate the purchase price and finer details, then there is no reason why not.

Yes like anything as long as you are sensible, get viewers details address land line etc, let someone else know who and when people are viewing. Once someone offers check the chain via there estate agent and make sure that it is complete with a nothing to sell buyer at the bottom. Put your solicitor and you buyers solicitor in touch with each other, make sure you buyer has a mortgage in place.
