Off-Market in Boston
A quieter way to sell or let in Boston.
Selling costs you nothing on this route and letting to us means one fixed sum a month. Tell us about the Boston property and choose the route that suits you.
Three Routes
Sell, let or hand it over.
Sell It Quietly
A quiet sale without a listing. The details go on our off-market register and there is nothing for you to pay on a sale. 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
The route most owners should start with: full management from 20%, with the property still yours. How management works →

What a listing gives away
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 portal listing is public the moment it goes live. Neighbours, tenants and every agent in the area can see the asking price and every week it stays up is counted. Talking to us first keeps all of that private while you decide what to do.

What happens on a quiet sale
Your solicitor handles the sale as normal once an offer is accepted. Before that, the property is on our off-market register, offers come from investors on our list at below open market value and the buyer pays our fee.
Boston
Who each route is for
A portfolio owner winding down may use all three routes at once: management for the best homes, a company let for the middle and a quiet sale for the rest.
Boston
Keeping the property, losing the hassle
A company let agreement is written for the property in front of us: term, monthly sum, repairs and handback standard, all agreed in writing before anyone signs. 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.
Boston
Larger properties and portfolios
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. 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.
Boston
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.
Boston
What to have ready
For a lease or management: the title, lender consent where there is a mortgage, the insurance schedule and current gas, electrical and EPC certificates. For a sale: the address, the condition and whether it is tenanted.
Boston
The first step
No obligation follows from a first message. You can compare the routes, talk to an agent as well and decide in your own time.
