Off-Market in Preston
Off-market in Preston: sell it, or let it to us.
No board outside and no portal listing. Owners in Preston 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
Pick the route that fits.
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 for owners who want certainty: the rent from us, the voids with us. How a company let works →
We Run It
The route most owners should start with: full management from 20%, with the property still yours. How management works →
Preston
Before the board goes up
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. 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.
Preston
The off-market sale, step by step
The property goes on our off-market register and is introduced to investors on our list. There is no fee to you at any point; the buyer pays our fee and you will know the amount before you commit. We do not buy property ourselves and investors buy below open market value in exchange for speed and certainty.
Preston
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.
Preston
The letting routes
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. Keeping the property and handing over the day-to-day is often a better answer than a sale. Management from 20% of booking revenue leaves the asset and the upside with you.
Preston
When it is more than a house
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. 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.
Preston
If you are the agent
Letting agents with a portfolio landlord can keep managing the homes that suit long lets and introduce the rest for serviced accommodation or a company let.
Preston
What to have ready
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.
Preston
How to start
Owners, estate agents and letting agents can all send a property. Agents' introductions go through the agent, not around them.
