Private Buying
Representation for buyers whose requirements are precise, whose process demands discretion, and whose time is not available for speculation.
Acquisition on Brief
We do not send properties in volume and wait for a response. We identify candidates and present only those that meet criteria established in your brief — after quiet sourcing, structured assessment, and a considered judgment about fit. The process is transparent to you and invisible to the wider market.
Access is the foundation. Every acquisition mandate begins with the understanding that the right property may not yet be visible, and that finding it requires sustained relationships and direct access.
The Acquisition Process
We begin with your criteria: location, tenure, scale, condition, price, and timeline. Nothing is sourced before this is clearly established. A well-defined brief prevents unnecessary viewings and protects your time.
We approach our network — proprietors, advisors, agents, and direct relationships — to identify candidates not broadly presented to the market. All enquiries are made under Graystone's name. Yours remains private throughout.
Shortlisted properties are assessed for value, condition, tenure clarity, and long-term positioning before your time is committed to a viewing. We present only those that meet the brief without material reservation.
We negotiate on your behalf with market intelligence, comparable evidence, and a clear mandate. We manage the transaction to completion, coordinating with legal counsel and all relevant parties throughout.
What Is Included
Each engagement is structured to the client's brief. The following elements are standard to every private buying mandate.
Off-market access and active outreach across our network of proprietors, advisors, and direct relationships.
Value analysis, condition review, and tenure verification before your time is committed to a viewing.
Offer strategy and counterparty management, conducted on your behalf with market evidence and a clear mandate.
End-to-end close coordination, legal liaison, and post-acquisition introductions where relevant.
