At Doormarked we understand that property is far from a “one-size fits all” industry. Everyone has a different property situation. Having said this, high-street estate and letting agents typically only provide a “one-size fits all” service:
If you want to sell a property, they’ll value it and then put it on the market at that value, regardless of whether the “value” puts you in negative equity or not. If you then struggle to sell a property, they’ll suggest lowering the asking price…
If you want to buy a property, they’ll ask to see proof of a deposit, mortgage in principle or proof of funds (if you’re a cash buyer). If you’re not a cash buyer and can’t get a mortgage…goodluck.
If you want to rent a property, they’ll offer a single let (or student let if you’re lucky) as a rental strategy and provide you with either a: tenant find, tenant find plus rent collection or fully managed service.
If your property situation isn’t a perfect match for these services provided by an estate or letting agent, then it is unlikely that the service provided will deliver you with the best outcome. So, what is the solution…
Doormarked. We don’t offer a “one-size fits all” service. We help the general public to connect with an independent property advisor (IPA) who is local to them (or their property) and who offers a bespoke service/strategy which is specific to their needs.
Independent property advisors (IPAs) are property professionals who use different strategies which they tailor to an individual’s personal property situation. This enables them to deliver the best possible outcome for individuals buying, selling or investing in property.
What are these different property strategies?

But how can these different property strategies help?
Here are some examples of situations where an independent property advisor (IPA) can help by using these different strategies:
-
If you’re struggling to sell a property or want to maximise the sale value of your property, an IPA can provide you with an assisted sale or a staging service.
-
If you’re in negative equity and need to sell your property, an IPA can offer either an assisted sale or a lease option to get you out of negative equity.
-
If you’re struggling to get a mortgage, an IPA can help you get onto the property ladder using a lease option or vendor finance.
-
If you’re a landlord looking to maximize your return on investment, an IPA can provide you with alternative rental strategies such as: corporate lets, serviced accommodation, houses of multiple occupancy (HMO) and student accommodation. They can help you set up these different rental strategies, manage them for you or simply provide you with advice.
-
If you’re an investor looking to either invest directly into property or just wish to make a return on your money, an IPA can offer a deal packaging service or provide joint venture (JV) opportunities respectively.
If you can relate to some of the above situations or if you’re looking for a more personalised & bespoke service than what is currently offered by high-street estate and letting agents, then use Doormarked to find your local independent property advisor (IPA) who will work with you to solve your property situation.

You can then choose which IPA you would like to work with. At Doormarked we will help you find an IPA who is most suited to help you overcome your property situation and achieve your aims!
