Top Tips for Selling Your Car Quickly and Safely in the UK
Selling your car privately can help you get a better price than trading it in — but it requires a little preparation. Here’s how to sell your car quickly and safely through FromOwner.co.uk.
1. Clean and prepare your car
A well-presented vehicle sells faster. Wash and vacuum it, fix small issues, and make sure your photos show the car at its best.
2. Take clear, daylight photos
Use natural light and capture different angles: front, back, sides, interior, and dashboard. Avoid blurry or dark images.
3. Be honest in your description
List all key details — mileage, MOT status, service history, and any known faults. Honest ads build trust and reduce wasted time.
4. Set a fair price
Research similar cars on FromOwner and other platforms. Pricing slightly below market average attracts serious buyers faster.
5. Meet safely and handle payments wisely
Always meet in a public place, ideally during daylight. For payment, use instant bank transfer (Faster Payments) and confirm funds before handing over keys.
FromOwner makes private car selling easy — no dealers, no commissions, and complete control over your listing.
