Off-market

Before it goes on a portal, see what it could do off-market.

A house that sits empty between tenancies, a flat that has not sold or a block that is filling slowly can often earn from working guests instead. And if selling is still the answer, it can be done without a listing.

How it works

What off-market can mean for you

Earn while you decide

Let the property to working guests on short and mid-length stays while you work out what comes next.

A fixed figure

A company let agreement with Maine Property Solutions Ltd as the lessee: one market value rent payment on the same date each month, whether or not anyone is staying.

A quiet sale

Registered with Maine Property Solutions and introduced to investors on its list. Offers come in below open market value, the buyer pays the fee and you pay nothing.

Worth knowing

Why owners talk to us first

A listing is public the moment it goes live. Talking first keeps the choice with you.

  • No board outside and nothing on a portal while you weigh it up
  • Details shared only with your agreement
  • An agent can still be instructed afterwards
  • One conversation covers letting, a fixed sum and a sale

Your questions

Questions owners ask

Is the property advertised anywhere?

No. Nothing goes on a portal or a board while you decide. Details are only shared with your agreement.

Who pays the fee on a quiet sale?

The buyer. You pay nothing on the sale route and you are told the fee before you agree to anything.

Can I let it to crews while it is for sale?

In many cases, yes. A company let can carry a break clause so the property comes back to you when a buyer appears.

What happens to my details?

They go to the team handling your route and nowhere else unless you agree.

Got a property that has not gone to market yet?

Tell Maine Property Solutions what it is and what you want. No listing, no board and nothing to sign.
