Three Routes
Three ways forward.
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
Swap the uncertainty for a fixed figure. A company let with us as the lessee, paid monthly, occupied or not. How a company let works →
We Run It
The route most owners should start with: full management from 20%, with the property still yours. How management works →
Birmingham
Why sell or let before it is listed
A property that has been listed and withdrawn carries that history with it.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. 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.

How the quiet sale works
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.

Where each route fits best
Where the highest possible price is the goal and time is not pressing, the open market through an estate agent is the natural route. Where time, privacy or condition matter more, the quiet routes are worth comparing first.
Birmingham
A fixed sum or full management
Letting to us can carry a break clause, so the property can come back for a sale when the market suits. Many owners use a company let to bridge a slow sales market. 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.
Birmingham
More than one property
One counterparty for many properties means one set of terms, one payment date and one point of contact, however many homes are involved. Several homes in one area are simpler to run together and the arrangement can reflect that. Send the list and we will come back to you property by property.
Birmingham
If you are the agent
When a sale stalls, a company let with a break clause lets the property earn while the market recovers and the sale can go ahead later through the same agent.
Birmingham
What to have ready
For a tenanted property on the sale route, the tenancy agreement and the rent position are the useful papers. Nothing else is needed to register it.

How to start
Start with as little or as much as you like. A postcode and a sentence about what you want is enough for us to come back to you.
Birmingham's demand base is institutional: the University of Birmingham on the Edgbaston campus, B15 2TT, whose first buildings were completed in 1909; Birmingham City University with over 31,000 students; Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham at Mindelsohn Way, B15 2GW, a Level 1 Trauma Centre open since June 2010; and HSBC UK's head office at 1 Centenary Square. Infrastructure is still being added — 1.7 km of new Metro twin track from Bull Street toward Digbeth and HS2 Curzon Street. Our nearest home is in Brierley Hill; our house there is about 11 miles by road from the city centre.

Your Questions
Selling or letting in Birmingham: your questions.
Still not sure? Tell us about the property and we will come back to you.
Can I keep my Birmingham property and hand over the day-to-day?
Yes. Full management runs it as serviced accommodation for a fee from 20% of booking revenue and the property stays yours.
What is a company let?
An agreement with Maine Property Solutions Ltd as the lessee: one fixed monthly sum, paid whether or not anyone is staying.
Is what I send kept private?
Yes. Details are shared only with your agreement and a mutual NDA is available.
What happens after I send the details?
For a lease or management, we come back to you about how it would work. For a sale, the details go on our register and we come back to you about next steps.
