A private property sale offers an alternative to the open market, without listings, public viewings, or chains. The process is designed to be calm, discreet, and led by your preferred timescale.
Fill out our online form and we'll call you back. This initial conversation is confidential and without obligation. We will ask you questions to find out more about your property and your situation.
We consider whether a private, chain-free sale is appropriate based on the property, your circumstances, and your preferred timeframe.
If it isn’t the right fit, we’ll tell you honestly. There may be other alternatives we can help you with that don't involve selling your house.
We aim to provide you with an offer in principle within 24 hours - this will be based on our initial desk-top valuation of your property.
If you decide to accept our initial offer we will arrange to visit the property to carry out a full inspection and RICS valuation (we pay for this) and, as long as everything comes back ok, provide you with our confirmed offer.
If you decide to move forward, the sale progresses in the usual way through solicitors, at a pace that suits you. We will manage the whole process - leaving you with a stress-free sale. We aim to complete the sale within 4-6 weeks.

The process remains private - no online listings, no public marketing, no 'for sale signs' outside your home, and no unnecessary exposure.

Your home is not opened up for public viewings or open days. There's no need to prepare your home for repeated public viewings or undertake cosmetic repairs.

The process is clear and structured to avoid onward chains. Timescales are flexible and work around your needs.

Selling through an estate agent typically involves public marketing, online listings, open viewings, and an agent acting on behalf of the seller to negotiate a sale. This can be the right approach for many homeowners, particularly where achieving maximum exposure is the priority. However, this process can take months and sometimes years to reach completion.
A private, off-market approach is different. Conversations take place quickly and discreetly, without public advertising or open viewings. This approach can suit homeowners who value privacy, flexibility around timing, or a quieter process outside the open market.
No. Our initial conversation is entirely confidential and without obligation. You can explore options and step back at any point.
No. Properties are never listed publicly or shared online. The process is entirely private.
All terms are agreed upfront in the option or purchase agreement. The agreement is negotiated directly between you and us, with everything clearly documented.
Our offers are based on the unique circumstances of a private, off-market sale. We generally look to acquire properties that are 20% below the market value. While this is lower than what you might see advertised on the open market, this reflects the benefits of a quick, straightforward, and chain-free process - and there are no advertising/marketing fees, agent fees or commissions.
Many homeowners value the certainty, discretion and speed that a private agreement provides, which can often outweigh the slower and more uncertain route of a public sale.
Every offer is made fairly, with transparency, and with your circumstances in mind.
Yes. It’s always a good idea to have your own solicitor to review any agreement and guide you through the process. We can suggest solicitors who are familiar with private sales, which can help things run more efficiently and smoothly, as not all solicitors have experience with this type of transaction.
We aim to complete within 4-6 weeks, but timescales vary depending on your circumstances, the property, and the legal process. There’s no obligation to proceed, and you remain in control throughout.
No. Homeowners do not pay any fees, commissions or agent costs.
We work with private investors and buyers who are seeking property opportunities in Cornwall. We manage agreements as a principal and may assign or complete them with private investors who are cash-ready. All arrangements are clear, documented, and handled through solicitors.
We speak with homeowners in a range of situations, including homes needing repair or modernisation, inherited properties, landlord exits, relocation, or simply when a quiet, private sale is preferred.
That’s perfectly fine. There is no pressure to continue, and you can decide to stop the process at any stage.
