My Savvi Home: Sell Your Property, Keep Every Penny, Skip the Estate Agent
Why We Built My Savvi Home
We'd watched it happen too many times. Friends and family would sell a house, hand over thousands in commission, and get very little in return. The agent would stick a listing on Rightmove, run a few viewings, then disappear until completion day. For that, you'd pay five, ten, sometimes fifteen thousand pounds.
It felt broken. So we built something better.
My Savvi Home is a UK property platform that puts the homeowner back in charge. You list your property, talk to buyers directly, manage your sale on your terms, and keep every penny of your sale price. No commission. No percentage fees. Just a small, transparent advertising fee.
How It Actually Works
There's no complicated onboarding. No contracts to sign. No minimum tie-in periods. Here's how it works, start to finish:
1. Create your listing Upload your photos, write your description, set your price. It takes about ten minutes. You can edit anything at any time. No ringing an agent and waiting two days for a change.
2. Go live on the portals Your property appears on the platforms where buyers actually search. We handle the distribution. You get the visibility of a high-street agent without the high-street price tag.
3. Hear from buyers directly When someone's interested, they message you through the platform. No middleman reinterpreting what they said. No agent playing games. Just a straight, honest conversation between buyer and seller.
4. Agree the sale, keep your money You negotiate directly, agree a price, and instruct your solicitor. The commission you would have paid an agent? That stays in your pocket.
£0
Commission on Every Sale
Whether your home sells for £200,000 or £2,000,000, the commission is the same: nothing. You pay a simple advertising fee to list, and that's it.
You've probably seen the online estate agencies. Purplebricks, Strike, Yopa. They've all had a go at disrupting the traditional model. Some charge upfront fees whether you sell or not. Others have hidden costs that creep up. A few have gone bust entirely.
We're not an estate agent at all. That's the difference.
We don't negotiate on your behalf. We don't tell you what price to set. We don't take a cut of your sale. We're a property advertising platform. We give you the tools and the visibility, and you run the show.

We built this for anyone who'd rather keep their money than hand it to a middleman. In practice, our sellers tend to fall into a few groups:
People who've sold before and know the process. They've done it once with an agent, seen how little work actually went into it, and decided they can do it themselves next time. They're usually right.
Homeowners in hot markets. If you're in Manchester, London, Bristol, or any area where demand is strong, your property is probably going to sell regardless. Paying an agent to list it on the same portals you could list it on yourself just doesn't make sense.
People selling high-value homes. When your home is worth £800,000 or more, that 1.5% commission becomes properly painful. £12,000 to £30,000 is a lot of money for a service you can handle yourself with the right platform.
Landlords selling rental properties. They already know the property inside out. They know what it's worth. They just need somewhere to list it and find a buyer.

Expert Insight: Commission Adds Up Fast
On a £500,000 home, a 1.5% commission is £7,500. On a £1 million home, it's £15,000. That's money that could go towards your next deposit, renovations, or just staying in your bank account where it belongs.
This is the question everyone asks, and it's a fair one. The honest answer is yes, as long as you have a solicitor handling the legal side. Which you'd have with an agent too.
The estate agent doesn't handle conveyancing. They don't do the legal checks. They don't transfer the deed. Your solicitor does all of that, and they work for you regardless of whether you use an agent or not.
What the agent does is list the property and show people around. If you can take a photo of your kitchen and answer a phone call, you can do both of those things yourself.
Every sale on our platform follows the exact same legal process as an agent-assisted sale. The difference is you keep the commission.
