Launching in Shropshire, August 2026

You did the viewings. They sent the invoice.

vestd connects Shropshire sellers directly with verified, ready to move buyers. One fixed listing fee, no commission, no chain of middlemen.

✓Verified buyers only
✓Direct viewings, no agent
✓One fixed fee
The problem

Selling a home costs thousands, and still falls through.

The traditional way of selling rewards the agent regardless of how much work they put in. Agents rarely verify ID or a buyer's mortgage position before letting them through your door. vestd is built to put you in control.

£1,000s
In commission

High street agents charge a percentage of your sale price, often several thousand pounds, regardless of how much work they actually do.

Rarely
Do the viewings themselves

Viewings are often handed to junior staff or left to the seller entirely, yet the percentage fee stays exactly the same.

1 in 4
Sales collapse after offer

Around one in four agreed sales fall through after an offer is accepted. Shouldn't everyone have a little skin in the game?

You know the way the morning light hits the kitchen.
You know the neighbours, the schools, the walk to the shops.
Nobody can tell your home's story like you can, so why pay someone else thousands to try.

How vestd is different

Built like a fintech, not an estate agency.

01
Verified buyers only

Every buyer must upload and verify a government ID before they're even able to request a viewing. They can also upload and verify a mortgage in principle. You control who turns up at your door.

02
Direct viewings

You speak to buyers directly. No agent in the middle, no message relayed through a branch, no detail lost between the people who actually want to do the deal.

03
AI assisted bid intelligence

Clear, data backed guidance on offers as they arrive, so you can read the market and respond with confidence rather than relying on a sales pitch.

04
One fixed fee

A single, flat listing fee agreed up front. No percentage, no surprise deductions at completion, no fee that grows just because your home is worth more.

LIFESTYLE SEARCH

Search by what matters to you

Don't know the area? Search by what matters to you instead. Pick how close you need to be to schools, a GP surgery, the gym, or a decent pub, and see only the homes that fit. This is live functionality, not a concept. This is the kind of thing you'd only stumble onto with the right estate agent, one who actually knows the area, lives a life like yours, and feels like sharing it. We didn't think you should have to get lucky. We'd rather just show you the data.

LISTING DETAIL

Everything you need, nothing in the way

Photos, key facts, and a viewing request that goes straight to the seller, no agent relaying messages in between. The full address stays private until you confirm a viewing, and so does the buyer's full name, until then they appear only as a surname and a short code.

VERIFICATION

A buyer who can actually proceed

An ID check plus an invisible mortgage in principle check turn into one clear badge. Buyers are shown to sellers as a surname plus a short code until a viewing is confirmed, so you know someone is real and ready before ever accepting a viewing request.

BID INTELLIGENCE

Read every offer with confidence

As verified offers come in, vestd weighs them against comparable sales nearby and suggests a response. Every bidder has already passed ID and mortgage in principle verification, and paid a non-refundable deposit just to place their bid, so what reaches you isn't a casual enquiry, it's someone who has already proven they're financially ready and has something to lose by walking away. Less second guessing, fewer offers that go nowhere, more deals that actually complete.

CLOSED BIDS

Run your own final round

When several serious bids are on the table, you can move to a closed and final round. You set the window, a few days of your choosing, and every buyer submits a best and final offer with a short personal statement on why they want the home.

Because the right buyer is not always the highest bidder. A number tells you what someone will pay. A statement tells you why it matters.

SELLER DASHBOARD

Your whole sale, in one view

Track saves, viewing requests and verified bids across every listing you have, in real time. This is the kind of detail estate agents rarely share with sellers, even when they have it. With vestd, you're not waiting on a phone call or a weekly update to find out how your sale is actually going. You can see it yourself, whenever you want, and make decisions based on what's really happening, not what you've been told.

The fee

One number, agreed up front.

TYPICAL HIGH STREET AGENT
£4,260

Based on the average UK agent fee of 1.42% inc VAT, applied to a £300,000 Shropshire home, vestd's entry price point. Charged whether or not the agent does the viewings or the sale completes. Source: HomeOwners Alliance, 2026.
