Selling in Chester? Talk to us before an agent.
No board outside and no portal listing. Owners in Chester can sell off-market, let to us for a fixed monthly sum or have us run the property and decide which before signing anything.
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
A company let for owners who want certainty: the rent from us, the voids with us. How a company let works →
We Run It
Keep the property and the upside. Full management as serviced accommodation, from 20% of booking revenue, with a monthly statement. How management works →
Chester
Why sell or let before it is listed
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. An estate agent is the right route when the highest price is what matters most. When privacy, speed or certainty matter more, an off-market route is worth a conversation first and it costs nothing to have.
Chester
Selling without a listing
The trade on a quiet sale is simple: a price below open market value in exchange for speed, privacy and certainty. Investors on our list make any offer; the buyer pays our fee and you will know it in advance.
Chester
Choosing between the three
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.
Chester
A fixed sum or full management
Management means pricing, guest communication, cleaning, maintenance co-ordination and a monthly statement that shows every booking, fee and payment. The fee starts from 20% of booking revenue. If the property needs furnishing for serviced accommodation, that is agreed up front. A company let or management begins once the certificates and consents are in place.
Chester
When it is more than a house
A large scheme or a completed phase can come to us in stages as units complete, so an agreement follows the build programme instead of a single date. 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.
Chester

Your Questions
Before you decide in Chester.
Still not sure? Tell us about the property and we will come back to you.
Can I still use an agent later?
Yes. Nothing about talking to us stops you listing with an agent afterwards.
Do you take new-build units in Chester?
Yes. Completed units can go on a company let while they are marketed, with a break clause for a sale.
Is the monthly sum paid if the property is empty?
Yes. Under a company let agreement the fixed monthly sum is paid whether or not anyone is staying.
Can estate agents send us properties?
Yes. Introductions go through the agent and the agent keeps the client.
