Three Routes
Your three routes.
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
A company let agreement with Maine Property Solutions Ltd as the lessee: one fixed sum each month, whether or not anyone is staying. How a company let works →
We Run It
Hand over the day-to-day and keep the property. Management from 20% of booking revenue. How management works →
Folkestone
Before the board goes up
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. A listing sets a price in public and any reduction is public too. A private conversation sets nothing until you choose a route and see the terms in writing.

What happens on a quiet sale
Send the details and the property is added to our register. Investors on our list make any offer, below open market value in exchange for a quick and certain sale and the buyer pays our fee. Nothing is payable by you.

Which route suits which owner
An owner who is unsure is better served by comparing the routes on paper than by choosing one on instinct. Each route is set out in writing before anything is agreed.
Folkestone
If you would rather keep it
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. 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.
Folkestone
Blocks, portfolios and new-build units
A converted building with several flats works like a small block: one agreement for the building, or management of each flat with one statement for the whole. 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.
Folkestone
Agents with a stalled instruction
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.
Folkestone
What we will ask for
You do not need every document to start. The town, the type of property and what you want to happen is enough for a first conversation.
Folkestone
Where to begin
Owners, estate agents and letting agents can all send a property. Agents' introductions go through the agent, not around them.
