Off Market Deals

What Is An Off Market Property?

Off-market properties are those sold privately without being listed on major portals like Zoopla, Rightmove, or through estate agents. For investors, this can be a great way to uncover exclusive deals and unique opportunities.

Since these properties aren’t advertised publicly, they’re not your typical sale. However, many sellers choose this route for various reasons, from securing a quicker transaction to maintaining privacy.

For buyers, off-market properties offer several advantages—but the biggest challenge is finding them, as they aren’t easily searchable through traditional channels.

That’s where we come in. As a property sourcing company, we specialise in identifying off-market BMV deals and delivering them straight to your inbox, making your investment journey seamless.

Why Are Off Market Properties Appealing?

Off-market property sales offer several advantages for both buyers and sellers, making them an attractive option.

  • Privacy: Sellers benefit from a discreet transaction, which is especially useful for landlords with tenants or high-profile individuals like celebrities.

  • Lower Costs: By cutting out estate agents, sellers can avoid hefty commission fees, reducing the overall cost of selling a property.

  • Fewer Complications: Estate agents can sometimes add unnecessary steps to the process. With a private sale, direct communication between buyer and seller simplifies negotiations.

  • Below Market Value: Off-market properties are often sold at a discount compared to open-market listings, making them an appealing choice for investors looking for a great deal.

How To Find An Off Market Property

If you can’t simply search on Rightmove or Zoopla, how do you uncover those hidden off-market property opportunities that you might otherwise miss?

  • You can connect with multiple local estate agents and clearly outline the type of properties you're looking for. If you build a strong rapport, they may reach out to you before listing a property on the market—giving you the chance to secure a great deal with minimal competition.

  • Attending property events allows you to network with investors and buyers, potentially giving you access to opportunities they choose to pass on.

  • While not strictly off-market, more sellers are now turning to social media, especially Facebook Marketplace — to advertise their properties directly.

  • Us! As part of a group that includes a cash property buyer, we gain access to exclusive properties that never reach the open market—allowing us to deal directly with the seller.

Any other Factors To Consider?

Off-market purchases differ from traditional property transactions, so the process might not be exactly what you're used to. When you work with us, we strive to make the experience as smooth and straightforward as possible. However, here are a few key differences to keep in mind:

  • Limited marketing materials: Estate agents typically handle professional photography and brochures, which may not be available. However, we always aim to provide property images where possible.

  • Faster transactions: Off-market sales usually move much quicker than standard sales, so be prepared to act fast.

  • Cash buyer expectations: Sellers often prefer cash buyers who can complete the purchase immediately without waiting for mortgage approval.
