The Unapologetic Boss Lady

Chapters 2 – The Financial Institutions Betrayal  From Property Scams to Financial Warfare After surviving the chaos of fraudulent property developers and unfinished investments, I thought the worst was behind me. But the truth? The battle had only just begun. In this next chapter of my journey, I expose how financial institutions and telecom giants—those we trust to protect our money and communication—can become silent predators in our lives. The Credit Card Trap: A Glittering Lie In 2019, I was lured by NewDay Ltd’s Amazon partnership, which offered a £5,000 credit limit and sparkling rewards. It felt like a lifeline during the pandemic. But behind the glitter was a trap. One blocked transaction spiralled into a humiliating accusation of fraud. I was mocked, doubted, and dismissed—all because I dared to joke about my age. Their disbelief wasn’t just about identity—it was discrimination. I fought back. I gathered evidence, recorded calls, filed a complaint, reported it to the Ombu...

                                         ⬆ Actual Building of Residence, Manchester, where I lost £138K + .........Continued from Part 1 The First Encounter with the EL Group Before this disaster, my company had invested in another off-plan property development, known as OWS in Liverpool L1, also developed by the EL Group. Promising completion in 2018, the project dragged on and finally concluded in March 2019, a distressing delay. Despite being assured of an 8.5% rental guarantee, reality told a different story. The property was not ready for rental until June 2019, months after our supposed victory. Those initial delays were merely the beginning of a cascade of disappointments. Political Corruption and Rumours Rumour had it that the hold-up involved a former mayor's dealings with EL Group over planning permission—money exchanged hands, but not enough to satisfy the conspirators. Si...

This is Chapter 1 of my real-life journey through the shadows of property investment, where prestige was promised but betrayal was delivered. Where It All Starts: Behind the Scenes In 2016, I stepped into the property world with hope and ambition, investing in SWENNO PROPERTY. What began as a dream quickly spiralled into a nightmare. I became one of many victims of the EL Group’s fraudulent schemes — a web of deceit that left hundreds of investors financially devastated. The Residence, Manchester: A False Promise My first buy-to-let investment, “The Residence,” was purchased off-plan for £138K. I was promised guaranteed rental income and a completed property. By 2020, the developer had entered administration, leaving 170 investors stranded. The project was incomplete, builders were unpaid, and our dreams were shattered. https://www.theresidencesmanchester.com/apartments  The EL Group’s Trail of Destruction From Heap’s Rice Mill to Wolstenholme Square, Aura, and Infinity — EL Group’...

Welcome to my world. I’m Sarah E. Stephenson, a proprietor, storyteller, model, actor, uni student, and the unapologetic boss lady behind SARAH WENNO PROPERTY LTD & SWENNO INVEST LIMITED. This blog marks the beginning of a raw, honest, and revolutionary journey into the property world, told from the perspective of someone who didn’t inherit wealth, has no safety net, and doesn't follow the traditional path. Over the past few years, I’ve battled through financial hardship, discrimination, health emergencies, and legal nightmares – all while building a property portfolio from the ground up. No silver spoon. No shortcuts. Just grit, vision, and relentless determination. Why am I sharing this? Because behind every glossy brochure and polished developer pitch lies a story they don’t want you to hear. I’ve been misled, overcharged, and gaslit by companies that thought I wouldn’t fight back. But I did. And I’m still standing. Don't say 'if' you make it but say 'when...
