Off-Market in Formby
Formby owners: one call before the listing.
A house, a flat, a block or a whole portfolio in Formby: register it for a quiet sale to investors on our list, let it to us on a company let, or hand it over to be managed.
Three Routes
Sell, let or hand it over.
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 fixed monthly sum under a company let agreement, paid on the same date whether the property is occupied or empty. 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 →

What a listing gives away
Some owners want a sale without the viewings; some want out of the long-let market without selling; some want the property to earn while they decide. A single conversation covers all three. A property that has been listed and withdrawn carries that history with it.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.
Formby
The sale route
Registering a property commits you to nothing. The details sit on our off-market register, investors on our list make any offer below open market value and a sale goes ahead only if you accept one.
Formby
Which route suits which owner
Owners of converted buildings and small blocks often want one counterparty rather than many tenants. A company let across the building gives them that and management unit by unit keeps more of the upside.

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. One fixed payment or a share of the income: the two letting routes trade certainty against upside and each can be compared on paper before you choose.
Formby
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. One counterparty for many properties means one set of terms, one payment date and one point of contact, however many homes are involved.

Agents: a second route for your client
An agent can introduce a property on the client's behalf with the client's agreement. We talk to the agent first and never approach the client around them.
Formby
What we will ask for
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.

Getting in touch
WhatsApp is the quickest way: send a message with the town and the type of property. The form on the off-market page and a call to 02477 450677 work just as well.

Your Questions
Questions about going off-market in Formby.
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 Formby?
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.
