I had a call today from a friend selling their property.

Mike… we’ve got 3 offers,

- £335,000
- £340,000
- £330,000

“We’re looking at asking the £340,000 to increase then accept that”

My response?

What’s the buyers’ position of each offer?

🦗🦗🦗🦗

“I don’t know, the agent has just given us the offers and asked us what we want to do”

The problem with this is, if you don’t know the situation of the buyer, you can’t make an informed decision on those offers.

- Are they in a chain?
- How big is the chain?
- Getting a mortgage?
- How much deposit?

So many people are quick to try and make a decision on a nominal figure without seeing the bigger picture…

This information is VITAL if you want a successful sale.

I’ve bought a few tenanted properties in the last couple of years… if you have one to sell. Let’s Chat.

One of the biggest misconceptions when selling a property is thinking that more enquiries 🚶‍♂️📞 mean you’re closer to a deal 🤝. I speak with sellers and agents daily who remain overly optimistic, believing the next enquiry will solve everything — while overlooking issues that will inevitably surface during the legal process or survey 🧾🏚️.

The reality is: if key matters aren’t addressed early, they’ll stall progress later. Focus on solving the real issues, not just chasing the next call.✅

Honestly, it’s hardly surprising that just over 50% of properties make it to a successful sale.

This property is now on with a second agent after the seller became frustrated with the first agent.

- Acrow Props being used to support the ceiling.
- The rear of the property is literally hanging in the air
- A building site inside
- Water connections missing

And an email from the estate agent telling me that it is still mortgagable… 🤡

These idiots are out there “advising” the seller of their options.

All smiles today 😃

Met with the previous owners of a pub I bought, they asked to come and see it once I finished the development.

My job would be much easier if all sellers were like these guys.

Sensible, open and honest and understand that a deal has to work for both sides.

They needed £275,000 to buy the property they wanted. I paid them £275,000. Exchanged quickly so they locked in their sale.

I then had time to get planning permission to do the conversion.

🤝 very good business where everyone wins.

🚪 Retiring Landlord? Let’s Talk — I’m Ready to Buy Your Portfolio, Stress-Free 🏡

If you’re a landlord thinking about selling up — whether it’s a single property or a full portfolio — I’d love to have a chat.

After years working to Director level across major estate agency groups and national finance firms, I’ve been involved in hundreds of property deals — from traditional sales to bridging and development finance.

With deep experience in brokering, underwriting, and borrowing, I know how to structure complex transactions to make sure things run smoothly.

✅ No agents
✅ No time-wasters
✅ No drama

Just a professional, discreet sale with someone who understands the market inside out.

These days, I’m buying for myself — not for clients. So if you want to exit your portfolio confidently and stress-free, I’m the buyer you’ve been looking for.

📩 Drop me a message and let’s chat in confidence.

Thanks,
Mike

🤦‍♂️ IT’S HARDER TODAY TO BE A LANDLORD 🤦‍♂️

Anti Landlord government policies are forcing landlords out of the market.

It’s one of the reasons there are more houses for sale than have been for a long while.

Which causes problems:

🚩 Buyers have more choice meaning uncertainty with sales.

🚩 Lots of competition meaning buyers might offer on multiple houses.

🚩 More to choose from making your property harder to stand out.

🚩 Rapid rental growth making it harder for tenants to afford a new home.

IF YOU WANT A QUICK, CERTAIN SALE, PROPERTIES IN ANY CONDITION 🤙

🌟 REVIEW 🌟

I ask the seller to provide a review after I’ve bought their house.

Here’s one happy seller 🤝
