- Privacy and security — no photos of their home online.
- Discretion — business, family or personal reasons.
- Testing the market before a public launch.
How to access them
- Give a clear brief — area, type, size, budget, timing.
- Show you can proceed — proof of funds or a mortgage in principle.
- Work with an agent who knows the owners in your target areas.
- Be ready to view quickly — good private listings move fast.
Buying well
The same checks apply: survey, permits, title — see the due diligence checklist. Off-market sellers value certainty, so a clean offer and a realistic timetable carry weight. See negotiating the price.
