Our Services
When it comes to off-market properties in Bristol, access is everything. Our services don’t just open doors—they cut out the gatekeepers. Here’s what we bring to the table.
Direct-to-Vendor Property Sourcing
We maintain direct contact with landlords, developers, and owners ready to sell without the hassle of listing publicly.
Who it’s for: Investors who want first refusal before a property hits Rightmove or Zoopla.
How it works: Through consistent outbound outreach, we find properties not yet for sale, often due to probate, divorce, downsizing, or landlords looking to liquidate.
Why it matters: 74% of the highest-margin property deals in Bristol in the last 18 months were done off-market. You get less noise, less competition, and a better price.


Portfolio Disposal Access
Institutional and multi-property landlords use us to quietly offload underperforming assets or entire portfolios.
Who it’s for: Buyers seeking multi-unit deals or packaged properties below market rate.
How it works: Our position as a trusted intermediary lets us broker access to assets that won’t show up in auctions or agent feeds.
Why it matters: You access equity-rich sales without public bidding wars, under NDAs and off-record terms.
Buy-to-Let Ready Properties
Need turnkey investments ready to cash flow from day one? We source pre-rented, compliant units directly from landlords.
Who it’s for: Time-strapped buyers wanting income from the start.
How it works: All compliance checks, tenancy verification, and income reports are pre-vetted before presentation.
Why it matters: Average rental yields from these Bristol units are 6.8%, well above city averages, with zero renovation or setup delay.


Land and Development Opportunities
We uncover infill plots, brownfield land, and sites with lapsed permissions with direct owner relationships.
Who it’s for: Builders, developers, and joint venture seekers.
How it works: Planning risk is assessed upfront. Sites often come with sketch schemes or architectural intent.
Why it matters: Bristol’s planning pipeline is tightening. Getting access to off-market land gives you a critical head start.
HMO Investment Sourcing
We identify operational HMOs and licensed properties generating 10–15% gross yields.
Who it’s for: Cash buyers, seasoned landlords, or syndicates looking for scale.
How it works: All licenses, fire certs, and occupancy records are verified. These are off-market HMO deals with full documentation.
Why it matters: With HMO licensing tightening in Bristol, sourcing compliant stock is becoming harder—and more valuable.


Probate and Distress Sales
We liaise with probate solicitors and administrators to access deceased estates before they reach estate agents.
Who it’s for: Buyers looking for light refurb opportunities with strong equity positions.
How it works: Transactions can be slow, but prices are often 10–15% below market as sellers prioritise speed and certainty.
Why it matters: These properties often sit vacant and are priced for quick settlement, giving you room for uplift or rental ROI.
Commercial to Residential Conversions
We identify small-scale commercial stock ripe for permitted development or planning gain.
Who it’s for: Developers or buyers chasing uplift via planning.
How it works: You get access to shops, offices, and light industrial properties pre-vetting for planning potential.
Why it matters: Some of our clients have doubled GDV by converting empty commercial stock into 1-bed flats under Class MA rules.


Deal Packaging and Finance Support
We package full deals, including sourcing, due diligence, exit strategy and JV pairing if needed.
Who it’s for: New investors or busy professionals needing plug-and-play deals.
How it works: We present you with vetted deals ready for execution, complete with ROI forecasts and lending recommendations.
Why it matters: You move from zero to owning income-producing property in weeks—not months.
