York
Why owners keep it off the portals
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. A property that has been listed and withdrawn carries that history with it.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.
York
The sale route
The trade on a quiet sale is simple: a price below open market value in exchange for speed, privacy and certainty. Investors on our list make any offer; the buyer pays our fee and you will know it in advance.
York
Matching the route to the owner
Where the highest possible price is the goal and time is not pressing, the open market through an estate agent is the natural route. Where time, privacy or condition matter more, the quiet routes are worth comparing first.
York
A fixed sum or full management
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.
York
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. 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.

Agents: a second route for your client
When a sale stalls, a company let with a break clause lets the property earn while the market recovers and the sale can go ahead later through the same agent.
York
Before we talk
A leasehold flat needs its lease, because some leases restrict how the flat may be let. The service charge and ground rent details help too.

Getting in touch
A short message is enough to begin: where it is, what it is and whether you want to sell, let or hand it over.

Your Questions
Selling or letting in York: your questions.
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 York?
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.
