Why Secure Sale?How It Works

Why Secure Sale?

Usually, property sellers tend to market their property via conventional methods; however, selling property via private treaty frequently involves:

  • A lengthy process.
  • No firm commitment from a buyer.
  • A high risk of the sale falling through.
  • No firm date for completion of the sale.
  • Re-negotiation of price after the sale is agreed.

Our experienced team will oversee the transaction right through to completion. At the same time, you remain in control of any significant decisions, ensuring you feel supported at every step of your property journey. Secure Sale properties come in all shapes, styles, and values.

It’s a common misconception that only run-down and distressed properties sell at secure sale; however, this is not the case. We’ve successfully sold properties all over the UK, ranging from detached family homes to stylish loft-style apartments via our tried and trusted Secure Sale Solution.

Did you know?

Less than 1% of our secure sales fall through. Compared to approximately 30% of private treaty sales in the UK.

I have moved 5 times & this is the best service I’ve had from an estate agent. It was worth every penny. Sam Walker looked after me & kept me updated even when my buyer lost their buyer. Within 24 hours he found another buyer & called me on a Sunday to give me the news."

How Does a Property Secure Sale Work?

We will enter your property into a unique secure sale cycle with a fixed end date. Together, we agree on an attractive Starting Bid to market your property and an undisclosed Reserve Price. Once agreed, marketing of your property begins immediately via our Online Bidding Platform and all leading property portals.

Our Online Bidding Platform in Numbers

  • Total Property Value Exchanged Over £6 Billion
  • Total Properties Exchanged Over 50,000 Properties
  • Total Page Views Per Year Over 6.5 Million

*Quoted figures logged via our Online Bidding Platform since launch & page views inclusive of associated property portals

Starting Bid

This price is deliberately set below your reserve to generate early interest and momentum. A lower starting point encourages more bidders to engage, helping to create competition and drive the final sale price higher.

Reserve Price

This is the minimum price you are aiming to achieve for your property. It remains confidential between you and the Secure Sale Department, and your property will never sell below this level without your approval.

Secure Sale Date

Your property is offered to the market for a fixed sale period. At the close of the secure sale, the highest bid secures the property, provided it meets or exceeds your pre-agreed reserve price.

Commercial Property

Commercial sales involve additional factors, including existing tenants or active businesses. Our RICS-accredited team supports you throughout the process, managing preparation, marketing, and completion to ensure a smooth and efficient sale.

Viewings

We encourage buyers to start with the video tour to widen exposure and reduce unnecessary visits. Physical viewings are arranged only for qualified, proceedable buyers to protect your time and minimise disruption.

Legal Pack

Our partner solicitors prepare a comprehensive legal pack at no upfront cost. This allows buyers to complete due diligence early, helping to speed up the process and move quickly to exchange once an offer is accepted.

The Secure Sale Process

We will sell your property with 0% Sales Fee, meaning you keep all of your sales proceeds.
