Guide to selling your business

You’re making a big decision to sell your business. Rest assured that we’re well prepared with a plan of action cultivated from our previous experiences that make it as straightforward as possible for everyone involved.

What type of businesses are we looking to buy?

Small lettings portfolios

Up to 150 managed properties and looking for a trusted agent to look after your customer base? We could be the perfect fit. You may even want to join us yourself?
Letting / sales agents

150+ managed properties with an existing brand and team? We’re big enough to take on a business of your size and we’re geared up with a seamless transfer plan.
Other businesses

If your business falls outside of lettings but could pair nicely then we want to hear from you. Eg EPCs, maintenance, mortgages, insurance.

Hiccup-free. A safe option with a strong reputation.

“Everything has gone like clockwork and exactly as agreed. Would recommend to anyone looking to sell.”

— Steph Kemp, Our House Estate Agents

How long does it take?

It can be as slow as you’d like. Some deals are years in the making, whereas others are done and dusted in a matter of weeks. We’ll take your steer on how quickly you’d like to move and adjust our plan of action to your timescales.

What happens to my team?

If you have staff in place in your business already then rest assured that we’re flexible on having them join us too. We’ll even consider senior team members if a suitable role is available and they’re open to coming on board.

Who will I deal with throughout?

We’re here to support you every step of the way. Spencer will be your key contact and you’ll be able to chat however it suits you best whether that’s Whatsapp, phone calls, email, LinkedIn or face to face meetings.

Will my enquiry be kept confidential?

There’s no harm in having a chat and putting the feelers out there. By getting in touch you’re not committing to selling your business and we’ll keep your enquiry to ourselves.

How is the price calculated?

We’ll generate an offer for your business using a formula. We can ensure you will get a fair price from a reliable company with the means to back it up.

Are there legal costs involved?

A deal can be done without solicitors and the associated costs but it’s completely up to you if you’d like to pay for solicitors to represent you. We don’t mind either way.

What’s the process?

If you're thinking about selling your business or simply would like to know a bit more about the acquisition process for future reference, then the first step is to get in touch with Spencer. We’ll have a chat about why you’re looking to sell, what you can expect from us and then ask you to complete a fact fact find so we have the information we need to assess your business and generate an offer.
We use a complex calculator based on several facts about your business to determine our offer. If you decide to go ahead, then together we’ll work on the transfer agreement to agree the details of the transfer along with a payment schedule and transfer date.
Before signing on the dotted line, we’ll need to go through a due diligence process to assess the assets we’ll be taking over. You’ll be provided with templates to fill out at this stage so we’ll have all the information we need to progress with the sale. We’ve worked with our HR team to ensure that any staff members coming across through a tupe transfer are correctly consulted and can be properly onboarded.
A plan of action will be put in place to pinpoint exactly what needs to be done before the transfer date and on the day itself. Communication throughout the process is key so we can work effectively and ensure there’s minimal disruption to customers and any team members moving over.
