Off-market sales & private advisory

The quiet sale of whole buildings in London.

Selwick Partners advises owners who would rather sell privately than put a building on the open market. No listings, no boards, no portals: a direct conversation and a short list of suitable buyers.

  1. Off-market by design

    No listings, boards or portals. The building is never advertised.

  2. A short list of buyers

    A small number of buyers, chosen for the building and approached individually.

  3. One point of contact

    You deal with Eran Shemesh directly, from the first conversation to completion.

IThe practice

Whole buildings, sold off‑market

We focus on freehold buildings in London and the South East, owned outright by one company or family.

Three kinds of building make up most of our work. Each is shown here as a drawn elevation, not a photograph of any property we have sold.

  1. Engraved elevation of a shop with three floors of flats above, between its neighbours.

    Plate II

    Shops with flats above

    Mixed-use parades and single buildings on high streets and local centres across outer and fringe London.

  2. Engraved elevation of a small multi-let industrial terrace with a saw-tooth roof and roller doors.

    Plate III

    Small multi-let industrial

    Estates and terraces of smaller units with several tenants, where the right buyer values the income and the location.

  3. Engraved elevation of a post-war office building, the kind often converted to homes or other uses.

    Plate IV

    Buildings suited to conversion

    Offices, retail and other buildings whose next owner may convert them to homes, hotel, student or other uses.

Larger assets

For property companies and funds

For property companies and funds selling larger buildings, typically in the region of £20m to £60m, we run a tightly controlled, targeted approach to a small number of buyers chosen for that asset.

IIWho we act for

Owners who value privacy over publicity

  1. Private and family companies holding one building or a small portfolio.
  2. Directors planning a sale ahead of retirement or succession.
  3. Property companies refining a portfolio without signalling it to the market.
  4. Owners of a building that is partly empty, or about to be, who want to understand their options.

If you are simply curious what a building might attract in a private sale, that is a reasonable place to start.

For buyers

If you buy whole buildings in London, you are welcome to tell us what you look for. Where a building fits and its owner agrees, we will introduce it to you privately.

IIIApproach

Four steps, at your pace

  1. A private conversation

    You tell us about the building and what you want from a sale. There is no obligation, and nothing is shared with anyone.

  2. Terms in writing

    Before we act for you, our fee and terms are agreed in writing. There are no surprises later.

  3. A short list of buyers

    We approach a small number of suitable buyers privately. Details are released only with your consent and under confidentiality.

  4. Through to completion

    We keep the process moving between the parties and their advisers through to exchange and completion. We never hold client money.

IVDiscretion

Nothing goes public.

Your tenants, staff and neighbours need not know a sale is being considered.

We do not advertise buildings, publish particulars or circulate them widely. Each buyer is approached individually. You decide who sees what, and when, and you can stop at any point.

Founder, Selwick Partners

Selwick Partners is led by Eran Shemesh, an accountant by training and qualification. That background shapes the way we work: careful with numbers, plain about terms, and attentive to the financial and tax position on both sides of a sale.

You deal with Eran directly, from the first conversation to completion.

VICorrespondence

Start a private conversation

Email is the simplest way to begin. A short note about the building and its location is enough; Eran will reply personally.
