User Story: Emma Found a Buyer for Her Flat in One Week

Emma needed a simple way to sell her one bedroom flat in South London without dealing with agents or paying commission. She signed up to FromOwner.co.uk, wrote a concise description, added bright photos of each room, and chose the Property for Sale category with the right attributes: flat, one bedroom, and tenure details. Within 24 hours, her listing started receiving messages from genuine buyers in her area.

Her approach was straightforward. The title clearly stated the location and key features. The description explained recent upgrades, the energy rating, and transport links. She priced the flat based on comparable sales and left room for a sensible negotiation. Most importantly, she replied quickly to messages and arranged viewings on the same weekend.

By the fifth day, Emma had three serious offers. She selected the buyer who had finance in place and could meet her timeline. A simple memorandum of sale followed, and both sides moved forward with solicitors. By the end of the week, Emma was confident she had secured the right deal without paying a third party a commission.
