Off-market in Cowes: sell it, or let it to us.
Selling costs you nothing on this route and letting to us means one fixed sum a month. Tell us about the Cowes property and choose the route that suits you.
Three Routes
Three ways forward.
Sell It Quietly
The discreet route. Register the property, keep it private and pay nothing on the sale. 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
Full management for owners who want to keep the asset: from 20% of what the property earns, nothing if it earns nothing. How management works →
Cowes
Why sell or let before it is listed
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. A property that has been listed and withdrawn carries that history with it.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.
Cowes
Selling without a listing
For an owner who needs certainty more than the last pound of value, a quiet sale is the route. Investors on our list make any offer below open market value and nothing is payable by the seller.
Cowes
Which route suits which owner
Executors clearing an estate often value certainty over the last pound of price, which points to the quiet sale. Landlords tired of voids and repairs often prefer a company let, where one fixed sum replaces the uncertainty.
Cowes
Letting it to us instead
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. 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.
Cowes
More than one property
Where a portfolio includes tenanted homes, those suit the quiet-sale route as they are. Vacant homes can go on a company let or under management. 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.
Cowes
Working alongside local agents
Letting agents whose landlords want out of the long-let market can offer management or a company let as an alternative to selling. The landlord stays the agent's client throughout.
Cowes
Before we talk
Current certificates shorten everything: gas safety, the electrical installation condition report and the EPC. A block or a house in multiple occupation also needs its fire risk assessment.
Cowes
The first step
A short message is enough to begin: where it is, what it is and whether you want to sell, let or hand it over.
