COMMERCIAL
Working alongside Commercial and Estate Agents, we aim to provide a quick and transparent service providing the Vendor and Agent with an assured sale.
Our approach helps you, the Agents, to sell sites and difficult properties.
We have carried out many types of projects, and are looking for the following within 30 miles of Peterborough:
• New build sites from approx. 1-10 units.
• Barn Conversions from approx. 2 to 10 units.
• Conversion projects from approx. 2 units to 10 units.
• Individual properties that require refurbishment or structural issues.
• Properties that have potential for additional plots.
• Or struggling to sell for any reason.
We have found the most successful approach is to meet the Vendor, to gain a trust and understanding of their requirements. At all times the Agent is either present or fully informed of any agreement.
On any resale of the properties, the introducing Agent will be given the first opportunity to market and sell at a minimum of 1% + VAT.
If the properties are retained and rented the introducing Agent will be given the first opportunity to manage them at 10% + VAT.
For a no obligation discussion, please contact us.
CASE STUDIES
Burghley Close – Deeping St James
The property was being sold due to the diminishing health of the landlord and the need to provide ongoing dementia care.
The property was proving difficult to sell due to the ongoing structural issues and the need for a company to be able to finance a cash purchase and have the technical knowledge and experience to carry out the works and bring back to the market in a mortgageable position.
The property was brought through a local agent, who was prepared to arrange for ourselves to meet the Vendor directly to discuss and agree on the structure of the purchase.
This enabled the Vendor to proceed with confidence in a particularly traumatic time for the family members.
Squires Gate – Gunthorpe
The property was being sold by the daughter, following the passing of her father. There were two issues that were preventing the sale via the normal process, namely: The level of Equity Release commitments and the inability to secure a mortgage on the property due to the potential movement issues.
The Vendor had placed the property on the market through an estate agent, however, the inability to secure a mortgage led to a number of failed sales, and the removal from the market, this abortive exercise took approx. 4 months.
We became involved through our Structural Engineer who introduced us to the Vendor, as a result we agreed to carry out further intrusive investigation works at our risk and cost and were able to agree a price with the Vendor and a quick timescale to ensure that their ongoing liability to the Equity Release company was resolved.
Testimonial
My dad passed away in May 2020, I knew he had a mortgage on it so I knew I had to get it sold as soon as I could. I had it valued and put it on the market November 2020 I had a lot of interest in it and many offers but when one of the interested buyers had a survey done I was told they could not get a mortgage on it as they believed it had subsidence. So I needed a cash buyer in the mean time I paid for a structural survey to be done and that report told me I would need to just keep a watch on the crack’s. I then got a phone call from the surveyor to say he knew someone who may be interested in buying my dads house that’s where Pat Guest came on to the scene he was a straight talking man and put me at ease he liked the house but knew it had a lot needed doing to it but we came to an agreement and I agreed to let him start work on it straight away, Pat let me know what he was doing when he was doing it let me visit the house when I wanted took photos and sent them to me. From start to finish this was a brilliant experience Pat did everything he said he would he turned a shamble of a house in to a lovely completely refitted stunning home for someone. I would recommend Pats company to anyone especially if you have problems with the property.

Having sold two properties for Pat Guest, I can honestly say we really enjoy working with them as Pat takes pride in his work and is happy to work alongside the buyers to ensure they are happy with any choices they make. Pat is very approachable and offers a great customer service which makes our job as Estate Agents, so much easier and with his extensive knowledge of the building trade, we have no hesitation in recommending Pat to any purchaser.
