Can I sell my property without my neighbours knowing?

Traditionally, selling your home can be a pretty obvious business, with a ‘for sale’ board declaring your intentions to anyone who passes and a stream of smart professionals traipsing in and out of your home for viewings - neither of which are good if your neighbours are curtain twitchers.

Then there is the requirement for your home and its contents to be listed online for all to see - great for local ‘Rightmove addicts’ who regularly check online listings to see what their neighbours are up to but not so good for people who want to keep their sale private.

Opting for privacy

Whether you are simply looking to sell your family home whilst avoiding gossip, have had a dispute with your neighbours and want to move on swiftly or you’ve inherited a property and want to release the capital from it discreetly, it is possible to sell in complete privacy with Open Property Group.

Avoid a public display

Selling direct to a professional buyer and bypassing the public marketing stage is the best way to avoid all the tell-tale signs you are looking to sell.

When you sell to Open Property Group, all the elements that give away the fact your property is on the market are removed. This is because we become the buyer – no one else is involved, and there is no middle man or estate agent.

We don’t need find a host of potential purchasers, therefore there is no need for a ‘for sale’ board or viewings. There is also no chance your property will end up in an estate agent’s window and no requirement for the property to be listed online with Zoopla or Rightmove.

The difference with us

Open Property Group makes a cash offer to the seller in private and all affairs are conducted discreetly. Nothing is made public, so no one will be aware that the property is for sale or sold until the new owners move in.

It’s worth knowing that traditional High Street estate agents may offer ‘discreet property marketing’ but it may not be as subtle as it sounds. It often involves contacting hundreds of potential buyers to let them know your home is for sale – not very ‘under the radar’. Open Property Group is different. There is only one possible buyer – us - and there is no ‘courting’ of multiple purchasers, so the utmost privacy is maintained at all times.

Start with a cash offer

All our completions start with a free, no-obligation cash offer. Your home will be sold in as little as seven working days, if you need to sell property fast, and the proceeds will go straight in your bank account.
