PROPERTY DIVESTMENT ADVISORY

Know why you are selling. Prepare for what comes next.

A property sale is a strategic decision as well as a transaction. RealIQ helps you assess whether divestment fits your objectives, understand the alternatives and prepare a considered approach to the market. We connect asset readiness, timing and commercial priorities with the work of your appointed selling and legal advisers.

PLAN THE EXIT WITH PURPOSE

Bring the exit into the wider strategy.

The decision to divest can be shaped by portfolio concentration, upcoming expenditure, a change in objectives or the completion of a development strategy. We help assess those drivers and compare selling with other practical options, such as holding or undertaking targeted improvements. If divestment is the preferred path, we review the property’s commercial information and identify preparation that could support a clearer sale process. This may include resolving information gaps, coordinating specialist reports and aligning the brief for your appointed selling agent. Throughout the process, we help you consider offers and transaction conditions against the original objectives, while your appointed agent and solicitor manage their respective sale and legal responsibilities.

WHAT THE WORK COVERS

Advice with a
practical purpose.

A clear reason to divest

Assess the role of the property within your wider objectives and document why a sale may be preferable to retaining, improving or repositioning the asset.

Preparation with purpose

Identify the property information, unresolved issues and specialist input needed to support a well-prepared sale brief and a more organised due diligence process.

An aligned sale strategy

Clarify your commercial priorities, preferred timing and transaction constraints so your appointed selling agent can develop a campaign around a coherent brief.

Offers considered in context

Review price alongside conditions, timing, certainty and outstanding obligations, helping you understand how each proposal relates to your intended outcome.

YOUR NEXT STEPS

A considered process.

Review the decision

Discuss the reasons for considering a sale and compare divestment with the other property pathways that may be available to you.

Assess sale readiness

Review the asset information, lease position and known issues, then establish which preparation tasks and specialist investigations should be prioritised.

Coordinate the brief

Bring your objectives, property information and commercial requirements together for your appointed selling agent, solicitor and other relevant advisers.

Support the commercial review

Help assess offers, conditions and material developments against the divestment objectives as your appointed advisers progress the transaction.

USEFUL TO KNOW

Your questions,
considered.

Can you help decide whether to sell or hold?

Yes. We can compare the property implications of each option, including income, expenditure, likely holding requirements and your broader objectives. Tax, financial and legal implications should be considered with your appointed advisers.

Will RealIQ act as the selling agent?

This service is divestment advisory. We help assess the strategy, prepare the commercial brief and coordinate with your appointed selling agent. Marketing, agency representation and legal conveyancing are handled under the relevant separate appointments.

Should improvements be completed before a sale?

That depends on the property and the proposed work. We can assess the likely cost, timing and commercial purpose of improvements against the option of selling in its current condition, with relevant specialist input.
