Home/What We Take On
Our Criteria
What we take on and on what terms.
The property types, sizes and paperwork we work with, route by route, so you can see in two minutes whether it is worth sending us.
By Route
Criteria, route by route.
Each route has its own requirements. A property that does not suit one route often suits another.
| Route | Property | Condition | Possession |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full management | Houses and flats that can be let furnished | Furnished to a serviced standard, or furnishing agreed with us | Vacant |
| Company let | Whole houses, flats, blocks and completed new-build units | Good repair with current certificates | Vacant |
| Council housing | Whole self-contained homes in the West Midlands | Good repair, certificates and fire safety in place | Vacant, with written consents |
| Quiet sale | Any residential property | Any condition, including tired and unmodernised | Vacant or tenanted |
The Paperwork
What to have ready.
Having these to hand makes the first conversation much shorter.
- The title register and the lease for a leasehold flat
- Lender consent that names the use, where there is a mortgage
- The buildings insurance schedule
- Current gas safety, electrical (EICR) and EPC certificates
- A fire risk assessment for a block or a house in multiple occupation
- Service charge and ground rent details for a leasehold flat
What Stops a Deal
The three things that stop a property going ahead.
Each of these is a legal or safety line rather than a preference.
- No written lender consent where there is a mortgage and the use needs it
- A lease, covenant or planning condition that forbids the use
- A building that cannot be made safe for the use

Your Questions
Criteria, answered.
Where do you take properties?
Across England and Wales for management, company lets and the off-market sale register. Council housing is West Midlands only.
Is there a minimum number of bedrooms?
No fixed minimum. Two-bedroom flats and four-bedroom houses both work; what matters is the location and the use.
Do you take property that needs work?
For a quiet sale, yes, in any condition. For management or a company let the property needs to be in good repair first.
Can I send a property that is tenanted?
Yes, for the quiet-sale route. Management and company lets need vacant possession.
