Let us know what you are looking for

Some property conversations begin before a public launch.

A private approach to a property move

Public advertising is not the right starting point for every seller. Personal circumstances, the timing of a move or a preference for privacy may call for a more selective approach. Danehurst Estate Agents can discuss off-market and private-client instructions with buyers and sellers across Dorset, the New Forest and the surrounding area.

The service begins with understanding what discretion means in your circumstances. We agree how the property can be discussed, what information may be shared and how enquiries and viewings should be handled.

For sellers: a carefully chosen audience

Rather than launching a property broadly on public portals, a private instruction can involve approaching selected buyers whose requirements and circumstances appear relevant. We consider the property, the proposed price and your priorities when deciding who may be suitable to contact.

You still need clear advice about value, presentation and the strength of an offer. We explain the available interest and discuss buyers’ positions with you. A private approach may suit your preferences, but it should be chosen with an understanding of the audience it reaches compared with public marketing.

For buyers: make your requirements useful

Tell us where you want to buy, your budget, the features you need and the timing you can work towards. It helps to understand your funding and whether a sale or chain forms part of your plans. The more specific the brief, the better we can assess a potential match.

Some opportunities may be discussed privately; others may be preparing for a later public launch. Access depends on current instructions and the seller’s permission. Registering your interest does not guarantee that an unadvertised property will become available or that you will have exclusive access.

Keep the conversation straightforward

We handle introductions and viewing arrangements personally, keeping the agreed level of discretion in mind. When a suitable opportunity arises, we can explain the information available and the next steps for considering it.

Whether you are thinking of a confidential sale or have a particular home in mind, contact us to discuss the brief directly.
