There's more than one way to sell a property — and more than one way to invest in one. Here's how each approach works, and why it might be the right fit for you.
We agree a guaranteed minimum figure with the vendor, then fund and project-manage refurbishment or planning work at our own cost and risk. The property is sold at its improved value and the uplift is split on pre-agreed terms, all documented before anything starts.
Why this suits you as a vendor
You typically walk away with more in your pocket than a standard open market sale would give you: no estate agent commission, no months of chain-collapse risk, and no void period while a tired property sits unsold. You don't pay for the works, you don't manage the builders, and your minimum figure is agreed in writing up front.
We take a management or company-let agreement on the property for a fixed term, pay the owner a guaranteed monthly rent, and operate it as professionally run short-stay accommodation. We cover furnishing, cleaning, bookings and day-to-day upkeep.
Why this suits you as a vendor
As an owner or landlord you get a guaranteed rent every month for the whole term — paid whether the property is occupied or not. No void periods, no tenant-find or letting agent fees, no late-night maintenance calls, and the property is professionally cleaned and maintained to a high standard. Truly hands-off income, and you keep the asset.
Price and terms are agreed today and we take control of the property immediately, making agreed payments over time with full completion deferred to a future date. Everything is drawn up by solicitors on both sides with the vendor's position legally protected.
Why this suits you as a vendor
Ideal if you want to move on now but don't need a single lump sum straight away. Spreading receipts can help with tax planning, it can achieve a stronger headline price than a discounted cash sale, and it works for properties that are hard to mortgage conventionally — non-standard construction, short leases, or unmortgageable condition — where ordinary buyers simply fall away.
We buy a property needing work at a price that reflects its condition, complete a full refurbishment, refinance against the improved value to recycle capital, and hold it as a rental.
Why this suits you as a vendor
If your property needs real money spending on it, the open market punishes you: mortgage buyers can't get finance on it, viewings go nowhere and offers drift down over months. We buy in any condition, with cash, and take on all the work and risk — so you get a clean, certain sale without spending a penny on repairs.
We acquire larger properties suited to conversion, handle licensing, planning and building regulations, and convert them into well-specified shared homes with professional management.
Why this suits you as a vendor
Large family houses and ex-HMOs can be slow sellers — expensive to run, dated, and a small buyer pool. We see the end use, so we can often pay a stronger price than a residential buyer, and we buy tenanted or vacant, licensed or not, without asking you to clear or refurbish first.
A conventional purchase held as a long-term rental, funded with cash or buy-to-let finance and let to quality tenants under professional management.
Why this suits you as a vendor
The simplest route: a direct sale with no chain above or below us, no estate agent fees, and a completion date you choose. If the property is tenanted we can often buy with tenants in place, so there's no need to serve notice or lose rent while you sell.
A legally documented agreement gives us the right (not the obligation) to purchase at an agreed price within an agreed window, while we take responsibility for the property and make monthly payments in the meantime.
Why this suits you as a vendor
Useful if there's little or no equity, if the mortgage is a burden, or if you need to move on now but would rather not sell at a loss. Your monthly payments are covered, the property is looked after, and the sale price is fixed today — giving you certainty and breathing space instead of an ongoing liability.
