Let It to Us

Colchester
Why sell or let before it is listed
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. There is no fee to talk to us and no obligation to use any route. If an agent is the better answer for the property, you are free to go straight to one afterwards.
Colchester
The sale route
We introduce your property to investors on our list, who buy below open market value for the speed and certainty they offer. You pay nothing; the buyer pays our fee and the amount is disclosed before you agree.
Colchester
Where each route fits best
A property in good repair near steady business and leisure demand tends to suit management, where the owner shares in what it earns. A tired property that needs work before anyone could let it tends to suit the quiet sale as it is.
Colchester
Letting it to us instead
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. 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.
Colchester
Larger properties and portfolios
Portfolio owners rarely use one route for every property. The strongest homes may stay under management, some may be let to us and the rest registered for a quiet sale. Mixed portfolios of houses, flats and small blocks are common. Each property is looked at on its own terms and the routes can differ across the list.
Colchester
If you are the agent
Agents handling developer stock can bring slow-selling completed units to us for a company let, keeping the developer relationship and the eventual sale instruction.
Colchester
Before we talk
Planning and use can matter, especially for a building that has been converted. Any condition that restricts how the homes may be occupied needs to be known early.
Colchester
Starting the conversation
If the property is part of a portfolio or a block, send the list rather than one address. It is quicker to look at the whole picture once.

Your Questions
Off-market in Colchester, answered.
Still not sure? Tell us about the property and we will come back to you.
How is this different from an estate agent in Colchester?
An estate agent markets the property publicly to find the best price. The quiet route keeps it private and investors on our list buy below open market value in exchange for speed.
Can a tenanted Colchester property go on the register?
Yes. Tenanted property suits the quiet-sale route as it is.
What does management cost?
From 20% of booking revenue, on two published tiers.
Do I have to choose a route straight away?
No. You can compare a quiet sale, a company let and management before you decide.
