Private Access GroupEst. MMXXIV · By Introduction Only

§ For Property Owners

A private exit.
On your terms.

We acquire exceptional UK holiday homes from owners who would prefer not to see their property listed publicly — and would prefer to deal with a buyer who already understands what they have built.

§ I

An Honest Note

We are not a typical buyer.

We have spent the last fifteen years managing holiday properties across the United Kingdom — running the cleaning rotas, navigating the seasons, understanding the difference between a property that earns and one that merely exists. That experience shapes how we approach acquisition.

When we make an offer, it is because we already understand the asset. We know what it can earn under competent management, what the recent revenue actually looks like, and what fair value sits at. There is no protracted due diligence exercise designed to wear you down on price. There is no surveyor's report used as a negotiating lever in week ten. We arrive at a number we believe in, and we honour it.

If your property is exceptional and you would prefer to sell it privately, we are very likely the right party to speak with.

§ II

What to Expect

A small number of deliberate promises.

i.

Your property never reaches the open market.

No Rightmove. No Zoopla. No board at the gate, no agent's photographs circulated through email lists. The transaction stays between us, and remains so afterwards.

ii.

A fair price, structured around you.

We work to a number that makes commercial sense for both sides — informed by real income data, not optimistic comparables — and we structure completion and consideration around the timeline that suits your circumstances.

iii.

We already understand your world.

You will not be explaining seasonality, guest behaviour or operating margins to someone learning the category. In several cases we have already managed the property — or one very like it — for years.

The Process

01

A private conversation

You write, or someone introduces us. We speak on the telephone — or, if it suits you, in person. Nothing is committed; nothing leaves the room. We discuss the property, your timeline, and what would make a transaction the right one for you.

02

We do our work, quietly

If there is a fit, we review the asset in detail. In many cases we have managed similar properties — or the property itself — and the diligence is genuinely brief. Where it is not, we move carefully but never theatrically. No surveyors arrive unannounced.

03

An offer, in writing

We share an indicative offer privately, in writing, with the structure spelt out plainly. If you wish to negotiate, we negotiate honestly. If the number is not the right number, we say so without drama and we leave the door open.

04

A discreet completion

Our solicitors and yours complete on the agreed terms. The property changes hands. There is no announcement, no listing history, no public record beyond what Land Registry requires. Where appropriate, we continue managing under your name through any forward bookings.

§ IV — Our Word

"Owners speak to us once and tell us, eventually, that the experience was the opposite of selling a house. That is the point."

§ V — Begin

A private conversation, at your pace.

Nothing committed. Nothing forwarded. Simply a first exchange between people who already share an understanding of what your property is.
