Some properties never come to the open market. For varying reasons, a client prefers to offer their property for sale without publicity. In such instances, we carefully consider each introduction of a prospective buyer to make sure they are the right ‘fit’ for the property, have the financial capability and, equally importantly, are able to comply with the timescales required by the seller. Solicitors are instructed once negotiations have been concluded and the sale proceeds in the normal manner to completion – all undertaken with meticulous sensitivity and discretion.
A coastal property story:
A beautiful property in an utterly stunning location with 180-degree views of the Dorset coastline. The house had had considerable publicity over the years; famed for its coastal gardens and having been in the family for two generations. On this occasion, the owners wished to dispose of it quietly and with minimal fuss. They did not relish the thought of the property being on the open market and were delighted to use our Discreet Marketing Service. Three potential buyers were carefully chosen and the successful buyer was prepared to give the owners one last summer there and wait before taking occupation in early autumn. Both parties were delighted; the buyer found the house of his dreams and the owners were able to quietly move on with their future plans.
An urban property story:
A well-known local businessman and his wife had owned their property for over 20 years. They wished to move, in their words, ‘without fanfare’. We prepared a brochure complete with beautiful images and floorplans, and introduced two couples whom we felt both understood the owners’ desire for privacy and had the financial ability to move without complication. In less than four weeks, the sale was exchanged with an extended date for completion to suit the owners’ ongoing purchase.
If you prefer to sell with discretion, we should be delighted to discuss how this might be arranged to support your own particular needs. Please contact me in complete confidence: polly.greenway@domvs.co.uk or 07863 557591.
