Off-Market in Atherton

Three Routes
Your three routes.
Sell It Quietly
An off-market sale for owners who want privacy or a quick, certain exit. You pay nothing; the buyer pays our fee. How a quiet sale works →
Let It to Us
Let it to us on a company let. One agreement, one payer and the void risk carried on our side. How a company let works →
We Run It
Serviced accommodation, run for you. The fee is a share of booking revenue, from 20%, reported every month. How management works →

Before the board goes up
Once a board goes up, the conversation is public. Before it does, you can compare a quiet sale, a company let and full management side by side, on paper, with nothing committed. A property that has been listed and withdrawn carries that history with it. Starting off-market means the choice to list is still yours, untouched, if the quiet routes do not suit.

The sale route
A quiet sale works for tired houses, tenanted flats and properties with a history an owner would rather not advertise. Investors on our list make any offer, at below open market value; we introduce and the buyer pays our fee.
Atherton
Who each route is for
Landlords leaving the long-let market have two good options before selling: management, which keeps the upside and a company let, which fixes the income. Selling quietly is the third, for when keeping the property is not the aim.

Letting it to us instead
Keeping the property and handing over the day-to-day is often a better answer than a sale. Management from 20% of booking revenue leaves the asset and the upside with you. If you would rather keep the property, it can be let to us on a company let agreement: Maine Property Solutions Ltd as the lessee, one fixed sum every month and the void risk with us. Or keep full control of the income with management from 20% of booking revenue.

Larger properties and portfolios
Where a portfolio includes tenanted homes, those suit the quiet-sale route as they are. Vacant homes can go on a company let or under management. A block of flats can go on one company let agreement across the building, under full management unit by unit, or onto the off-market register as a whole. The apartment blocks page sets out how each works.

For estate and letting agents
For an agent, a second route keeps a client who might otherwise walk away. The property stays on the agent's books and the relationship stays intact.

What we will ask for
Where there is a mortgage, written lender consent that names the use matters more than anything else. Without it, a company let or management cannot go ahead.

Where to begin
No obligation follows from a first message. You can compare the routes, talk to an agent as well and decide in your own time.
