Homebuyer Stories
Every home search has a story behind it. A young family outgrowing their flat. A couple finally ready to leave the city.
Someone starting over, or starting fresh. A buyer who knows exactly what they want and just needs the right seller to find them.
This community is where those stories live.
If you’re a seller or an estate agent, browse the stories below; you might find your perfect buyer is already here. And if you’re a buyer who hasn’t yet shared your story, it’s free to do so and takes just a few minutes.

ESSENTIAL *Detached if at all possible, or at least link detached. *No major work needed other than decorating/aesthetic changes. *Preferably 3 beds (3rd bed will only be used as wardrobes, dressing, storage room) so some 2 beds may be fine if large enough rooms with ample storage/wardrobes. *Love open plan kitchen/living areas, but not essential. Don't really want cottage style/small rooms *Needs some outside space as have cats and dog, but large outside space not necessary as obviously so close to beaches. *In a dream world the outside space would get some sun, but not essential as we are budget restricted and location and indoor space more important.
