Selling Discreetly

Every discreet sale begins with a confidential conversation.

We take the time to understand your property, your reasons for selling, your preferred timescale and, most importantly, what you want to achieve from the transaction.

We will also discuss how discreet you would like the sale to be, who you are comfortable knowing about the property and any specific circumstances we should take into consideration.

This allows us to create a discreet sales strategy tailored entirely around you.

We assess your property and advise on an appropriate asking price based on current market conditions, location, property characteristics and comparable opportunities.

For an off-market property, positioning is particularly important. Without the broad exposure of a traditional marketing campaign, the property needs to be presented to the right audience and at a level that reflects both its value and the current market.

Our aim is to create genuine interest while protecting your long-term objectives.

Once we understand your objectives, we agree how the property will be presented and who it can be introduced to.

Your strategy may involve approaching selected private buyers, trusted contacts, professional partners or carefully chosen agents.

We will agree with you what information can be shared, when it can be shared and what level of access prospective buyers will have.

If circumstances change, the strategy can also evolve. An off-market approach does not mean you are committed to remaining off-market indefinitely.

We prepare the information required to present your property professionally and discreetly.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include photography, a property overview, specifications, floor plans and other relevant information.

We take a measured approach to what is disclosed. Prospective buyers receive enough information to establish whether the property is suitable, while more sensitive details can be reserved for later stages.

Where appropriate, confidentiality agreements can be put in place before more detailed information is released.

A discreet sale is about reaching the right people rather than the largest possible audience.

We use our local knowledge, established relationships and international network to identify potential buyers whose requirements and circumstances are aligned with your property.

Before introducing a prospective buyer, we establish their requirements, financial capacity and timescale and undertake the necessary KYC and AML checks, including verification of identity and, where relevant, beneficial ownership and source of funds.

This helps ensure that your property is presented only to credible and genuinely interested buyers.

Once a suitable buyer has been identified and appropriately qualified, we make a confidential introduction.

Information is shared progressively and on a need-to-know basis. Depending on the circumstances, this may initially include the general location, key features, photographs and relevant pricing information.

More sensitive information, such as the exact address, ownership details, detailed documentation or viewing arrangements, can be shared only when appropriate.

The objective is to create genuine interest without unnecessary public exposure.

Where there is genuine interest, we arrange private viewings around your requirements.

We carefully manage access to the property and remain involved throughout the process, from coordinating the viewing to answering questions and gathering feedback.

You remain in control of who visits your property and when.

Our role is to make the process as straightforward as possible while ensuring that your privacy and the property’s confidentiality are maintained.

When an interested buyer wishes to proceed, we present the offer to you promptly and advise you on the terms.

We negotiate directly with the buyer or their representative on your behalf, using our understanding of the market, the property and your objectives to help achieve the strongest possible terms.

Selling discreetly does not mean compromising on the outcome. By placing a property directly in front of qualified buyers, a carefully managed private sale can create genuine demand without relying on mass-market exposure.

Once terms have been agreed, we help coordinate the next stage of the transaction.

A Letter of Intent can be prepared to record the principal terms agreed between buyer and seller and provide a clear framework for the lawyers acting for both parties.

Your legal advisers will then undertake the necessary due diligence and prepare the appropriate contractual documentation.

Throughout this stage, Full Time Property remains your key point of contact, helping to coordinate communication between the relevant parties and keeping the transaction moving forward.

The sale is completed on the agreed completion date, with the relevant legal documentation signed, funds transferred and ownership formally transferred to the buyer.

Our involvement does not end when the transaction completes.

We remain available to assist with post-sale matters and, where appropriate, introduce you to trusted professional contacts who can help with any remaining requirements.

From our first confidential conversation through to completion and beyond, our aim is to provide a discreet, highly personal and professionally managed service.

Discretion and due diligence are fundamental to how we work.

Before introducing a prospective buyer to your property, we establish their requirements, financial capacity and timescale. We undertake the necessary KYC and AML checks, including verification of identity and, where relevant, beneficial ownership and source of funds.

For particularly sensitive properties or transactions, we may also require a confidentiality agreement (NDA) to be signed before releasing specific information or arranging a viewing. Our aim is simple: to ensure that your property is only presented to credible, genuinely interested buyers, while protecting your privacy throughout the process.

Selling discreetly does not mean compromising on price. In many cases, it can create an advantage by placing your property directly in front of qualified buyers who are actively seeking a home of its calibre, rather than exposing it to the wider market. Our approach is focused on identifying the right buyer, positioning the property correctly and creating genuine demand around it.

For exceptional properties, scarcity and discretion are powerful – and we have managed situations where a private sale achieves a price equal to, or higher than, an openly marketed property. Our priority is always to maximise your outcome, not simply achieve a sale.

We take a measured approach to information sharing, ensuring prospective buyers receive enough detail to assess whether a property is right for them, while protecting your privacy and the property’s confidentiality.

Initially, this may include the location area, key property features, photographs or a carefully prepared overview, together with relevant information on price and specifications. More sensitive details – such as the exact address, ownership information, detailed documentation or viewing arrangements – are shared progressively and only with suitably qualified buyers.

Where appropriate, confidentiality agreements and KYC/AML procedures will be completed before more sensitive information is disclosed. Every introduction is handled on a need-to-know basis.

Our role is to manage the process for you, allowing you to remain as involved – or as hands-off – as you wish.

We will handle buyer enquiries, qualification, introductions, viewings and negotiations, keeping you informed throughout the process. We will agree the marketing and pricing strategy with you up front, and seek your approval before sharing any sensitive information or arranging access to the property.

Your involvement will primarily be providing the necessary property information and documentation, making the property available for agreed viewings, and ultimately instructing your legal advisers when required.

Discreet does not mean invisible. With over 25 years of experience in the worlds of property, elite sport, business and international investment, we discreetly connect our global contacts to maximise opportunities for our clients.

We can also approach selected agents and trusted partners where this provides access to an appropriate buyer, while maintaining your confidentiality.

This targeted approach allows us to create genuine competition around exceptional properties, without relying on mass-market advertising.

An off-market strategy is not a commitment to remain off-market indefinitely. We continually assess buyer interest, feedback and market conditions with you, so that the strategy can evolve if necessary.

If the right buyer is not identified privately within an agreed timeframe, we can discuss broadening the property’s exposure – carefully and strategically – while preserving as much of the discretion and positioning as possible.

Our priority is not simply to secure a sale, but to achieve the best possible outcome for you. With our local knowledge, international network and experience in luxury property, we can adapt the strategy without losing sight of your objectives.

Yes.

An off-market strategy can be reviewed at any stage. If the right buyer is not identified privately within an agreed timeframe, we can discuss broadening the property’s exposure.

Any change would be carefully considered with you and implemented strategically, while maintaining as much of the property’s positioning and discretion as possible.

Simply contact Full Time Property for a confidential, no-obligation conversation about your property, your circumstances and your objectives.

We will discuss the available options with you and explain how a discreet sale could work for your property.
