In the London property market, "off-market" refers to properties that are being marketed for sale or let discreetly, without being publicly advertised or listed on major online portals. These properties are presented only to a hand-picked selection of pre-qualified buyers or tenants.
Buying off-market can provide access to exclusive properties before they reach the wider market, most importantly all aspects of the transaction are handled privately and quietly without any publicity.
Selling off-market offers complete privacy and discretion. It is a useful way of selling a high profile and/or high value property with the minimum of publicity.
Accessing off-market opportunities typically involves directly contacting established estate agents who have a history of dealing with such properties. Registering your specific requirements with trusted agents like Maskells, who specialize in this area, is crucial.
Not necessarily. While some exclusive off-market properties might command a premium, the costs associated with the transaction itself (agent fees, legal costs) are generally in line with standard property transactions.
The timeframe can vary. Off-market sales can sometimes be quicker due to a focused approach to a select pool of buyers. However, it can also take longer to find the perfect match for a more specialist property. The timeline will depend on the specific property and the current market conditions.
Yes, off-market transactions are quite prevalent in prime central London areas like Chelsea, Kensington, Knightsbridge and Mayfair, where discretion and exclusivity are highly valued by both buyers and sellers. Agents specializing in these areas often have extensive off-market portfolios.
