What the company does

• I

  Acquisition

  The company considers residential property offered to it, whether by the owner directly, by an agent acting for the owner, or by another property company. Where it decides to proceed, it buys as principal in its own name.

  Anything agreed at that stage — price, what is included, the intended timetable — is confirmed in writing before it binds anybody, and the transaction itself is carried out through solicitors in the ordinary way.

  

• II

  Holding

  Property bought by the company is held as an asset of the company. Holding is not a passive gap between two dates: the property has to be kept secure, kept in repair, and kept properly recorded in the company’s books, and whatever falls due on it has to be paid when it falls due.

  Where work of that kind is needed, the company instructs professionals for the particular property. Correspondence about a property the company holds should be addressed to the registered office.

  

• III

  Disposal

  When a property is to be sold, the company sells it as the owner. A buyer’s solicitor deals with the company’s solicitor, and title, tenure and the contents of the sale are established by the usual searches and enquiries rather than by anything written here.

  The company does not publish a list of properties on this site. If you want to know whether a particular property is available, ask.
