A part of the market is never advertised. Owners instruct us to sell or let quietly, and those properties go to a register of buyers before they go anywhere else — if they go anywhere else at all.
We do not send everything to everybody. Tell us the brief and you hear about the properties that match it, usually before they are advertised — and often instead of being advertised.
The property management consultancy team at Fraser Bond delivers a highly professional and tailored commercial property management service, focussed on responsible property management. Our clients include developers, investors and occupiers in the public and private sectors — served from each of our UK regional and London offices.
An owner who does not advertise is rarely being coy. A tenanted investment where the tenants have not been told. A company moving before staff know. A probate or divorce sale the family wants kept private. An owner testing a price without the listing going stale in public. In each case the instruction is the same: find the right buyer, quietly.
Not a newsletter. Properties are matched against your brief and sent to the handful of people it suits, which is the only reason an owner lets us circulate them at all.
Your brief is a filter. You hear about what fits it and nothing else.
Explore →Most of what we circulate is never listed publicly at all.
Explore →A quiet sale is a smaller field. That is the advantage, and it is the real one.
Explore →Offices, retail, industrial, land, development sites and private homes.
Explore →RICS registered valuers, so the figure you are quoted can be tested.
Explore →On an off-market deal there is no competing bid to set the price. Representation matters more, not less.
Explore →If you have a commercial or residential property you would rather not see on the portals — because of tenants, staff, family or price — that is the same service from the other side. Tell us about it and we will tell you honestly whether a quiet sale is realistic.
A property that is for sale or to let but is not advertised on the portals or on an agent’s public listings. It is offered directly to buyers the agent believes are suitable. The property is genuinely available; it simply is not on display.
Usually discretion rather than secrecy. Tenants, staff or family may not have been told. A corporate seller may not want a move public. An owner may want to test a price without a listing visibly going stale. In a probate or divorce sale, privacy is often the point.
Both. We handle commercial sales and lettings across offices, retail, industrial and land, and private residential sales where the owner wants a quiet process.
Only when something matches your brief. For a narrow requirement that may be a few times a year. We do not send a weekly round-up, because an owner who asked for discretion would not thank us for it.
No, but it helps to be honest about timing and funding. Sellers who want a quiet sale usually want certainty, so a buyer with funds in place is often preferred to a higher offer that is slower.
No. Your details stay with Fraser Bond and are used to match you to properties. You can unsubscribe from any email we send, and we will remove you on request.
