The business was founded by two brothers in 2006 with considerable energy being dedicated to the development of a profitable business model, benefiting from an extremely low cost base.
Growth on the UK and international side has been considerable, and has now reached a point where excellent contracts have been negotiated and robust and reliable marketing channels have been established incorporating a solid client base.
BUSINESS SUMMARY
An established and highly profitable company involved in:
• the acquisition for UK properties for a large client base
• the marketing and sale of overseas properties, mainly in resort locations
CLIENTS AND MARKETS
During the life of the company an extensive client database has been developed. Overall, the client base is affluent and financially sophisticated and is a mix of private individuals and corporate buyers.
The company operates in the UK market, identifying suitable properties for clients to buy. These are sourced through a variety of means, including an excellent website. The vast majority of these properties are acquired by clients at up to 30% below the market price in “distress” situations.
On the international front, the company has lucrative contracts with a number of prestigious international developers. Opportunities to invest in these 5 star high yield resorts are marketed to the existing customer database and through the specialist website.
There is a considerable crossover between the two markets, with buyers of UK properties seeking investments abroad and vice versa.
SCOPE AND POTENTIAL
• Ideal business for buyer to develop their own property portfolio with “first refusal” on all opportunities
• Creation of a network of sub-agents with lucrative income potential (deals offered would be better than new master agents dealing direct with the developers)
• Establishing a property finance arm
• Cross selling of insurance products
• Development of professional partnerships
PERSONNEL
The business is managed and run by the two directors. Historically, a staff member has been employed to assist with marketing and administration.
The cost base for the business is extremely low.
REASON FOR SALE
Having built a successful operation, the directors now wish to pursue alternative business interests. Time pressures are such that they feel they cannot commit the required time to the development of the business.
The directors would be happy to assist the buyer with the business by way of a handover or consultancy should this be required.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
UK Property Acquisitions
The company offers a comprehensive service to homeowners seeking to sell their UK property. Potential sellers are sourced from the excellent website, through a network of contacts, or via referrals from previous customers. All types of properties are considered, although around 40% of purchases are ex local authority stock, and the vast majority of purchases are under £200,000. A quick service is offered, with quotes provided on a net basis, with legal costs and disbursements not needing to be met by the customer.
DISCLAIMER: Viewing is essential to fully appreciate this business and strictly by appointment only through the agents. N/B: All Negotiations must be conducted through Advent Business Sales. These details do not constitute part of an offer or contract and properties are offered subject to being sold, let or withdrawn without notice at any time and without liability for any expenses incurred by applicants. All statements and descriptions are made without responsibility or warranty by us, vendors or lessors. Intending purchasers must check for themselves (Misrepresentation Act 1967).
In volume terms around forty to fifty properties are acquired by the company’s clients annually.
International Property Sales
The range and location of international property developments will vary as projects are completed and fresh developments started.
Currently developments are being marketed in Barbados, St Vincent, The Dominican Republic, St Lucia, Thailand, Brazil and Greece. Properties offered are typically in 5 star resorts and range from small apartments at less than £200,000 through to large £1,000,000 plus properties. A full financial service is offered and property is SIPP compliant.
Excellent commission terms have been negotiated with developers and are as high as 9.5% of the sale price in some cases. Developers (three in total at present) are all “blue chip” and the company has negotiated “master agent” status with the largest of these, allowing deals to be struck with “sub agents” if desired. | | | | | | FOR SALE | | | | | REFERENCE: | 9577CM / RightBiz | | | | | | Request more information about this business.. | | ENQUIRIES: | | | | CONTACT SELLER TO GET THE SELLERS DIRECT CONTACT DETAILS AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS ONLY | | | | | | | | | | | |
