Off-Market in Shipley
Before your Shipley property goes on a portal.
For owners in Shipley who want a sale kept quiet, a fixed monthly income or the day-to-day taken away. Three routes, one conversation and no fee to talk.
Three Routes
How owners work with us.
Sell It Quietly
Kept off the portals: the property goes on our register and is introduced to investors on our list, with no fee to you. 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 →
Shipley
Why owners keep it off the portals
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. Tenants often hear about a sale from the listing. A quiet route lets you plan the conversation with them first, or register the property as it is with the tenancy in place.
Shipley
Selling without a listing
Your solicitor handles the sale as normal once an offer is accepted. Before that, the property is on our off-market register, offers come from investors on our list at below open market value and the buyer pays our fee.
Shipley
Where each route fits best
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.
Shipley
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. A company let replaces tenants, voids and arrears with a single lessee and a single payment date. The sum is fixed for the term and paid whether or not anyone is staying.
Shipley
Blocks, portfolios and new-build units
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. 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.
Shipley
For estate and letting agents
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.
Shipley
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.
Shipley
Getting in touch
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
Before you decide in Shipley.
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 Shipley?
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.
