Off-Market in Bedford
Before your Bedford property goes on a portal.
Keep it private while you decide. A Bedford property can be registered for an off-market sale, let to us on a company let or managed from 20% of booking revenue.
Three Routes
Three routes, no listing.
Sell It Quietly
Register the property for an off-market sale and it is introduced to investors on our list. No fee to you: the buyer pays our fee. How a quiet sale works →
Let It to Us
One lessee, one payment date: a company let in place of tenants, voids and arrears. 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 →
Bedford
What a listing gives away
A listing sets a price in public and any reduction is public too. A private conversation sets nothing until you choose a route and see the terms in writing. Probate, a relocation, a portfolio being wound down, a building that needs work: the reasons owners come to us before an agent are usually about time, privacy or condition rather than price.

The off-market sale, step by step
Registering a property commits you to nothing. The details sit on our off-market register, investors on our list make any offer below open market value and a sale goes ahead only if you accept one.

Where each route fits best
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.
Bedford
Larger properties and portfolios
Completed new-build units that are slow to sell can go on a company let while they are marketed, with a break clause so each can come back when a buyer appears. For a building with long leaseholders, the flats you own can come to us while the managing agent keeps the common parts. The lease terms set what is possible.

Agents: a second route for your client
Letting agents with a portfolio landlord can keep managing the homes that suit long lets and introduce the rest for serviced accommodation or a company let.
Bedford
Documents that help
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.

Your Questions
Selling or letting in Bedford: your questions.
Still not sure? Tell us about the property and we will come back to you.
Do I pay a fee to sell off-market in Bedford?
No. On the quiet-sale route the buyer pays our fee and you will know the amount before you commit.
Who buys the property?
Investors on our list make any offer, below open market value in exchange for speed and certainty. We introduce; we do not buy property ourselves.
Can I let a Bedford property to you instead?
Yes. A company let agreement gives you one fixed monthly sum, or full management keeps the income with you for a fee from 20% of booking revenue.
Will the property be advertised?
No. Nothing goes on a portal and details are shared only with your agreement.
