How It Works
Property Transactions Made Simple
Contora connects property owners with serious investors and buyers through a clear, straightforward process designed to reduce unnecessary delays and complications.
Clear communication. Relevant introductions. No unnecessary complexity.
The Principle
Connecting the Right Sellers With the Right Buyers
Contora operates on a simple principle.
Property owners sometimes need an alternative to the traditional sales process, while investors are constantly looking for suitable acquisition opportunities.
Our role is to bring the two together.
We learn about the property, understand the seller's circumstances and identify investors whose acquisition criteria may align.
Where there is a suitable match, we facilitate an introduction and help keep the process clear and efficient.

For Sellers
If You're Selling a Property
Tell Us About Your Property
Complete our property assessment form with some basic information about the property, location, condition and your preferred timescale. This initial enquiry is confidential and does not commit you to selling.
We Review the Property
Our team reviews the details provided and considers factors such as location, property type, condition, indicative value, seller circumstances and likely investor demand. Where necessary, we may contact you for some additional information.
We Identify Suitable Buyers
If the property is suitable for our network, we look for investors or buyers whose acquisition criteria align with the opportunity. Rather than presenting every property to every investor, our aim is to make relevant introductions.
Offers & Options
Interested buyers may submit an offer. You remain completely free to decide whether the proposed terms work for you. There is no obligation to accept an offer.
Legal Process
If you decide to proceed, the property transaction moves through the appropriate legal process involving the relevant solicitors and professional advisers. Contora remains available to help maintain communication between the parties where appropriate.
For Investors
If You're an Investor
Register Your Requirements
Tell us where you buy, what property types you want, your investment strategy, typical budget, funding method, preferred condition and completion timescale.
We Record Your Criteria
We use this information to understand what constitutes a relevant opportunity for you.
Suitable Opportunities Are Introduced
When an opportunity reasonably aligns with your requirements, we may contact you with the available property information.
Carry Out Your Due Diligence
You assess the property independently and decide whether it meets your investment requirements.
Make an Offer
If the opportunity works for you, you can submit an offer. Where the seller accepts, the transaction can progress through the appropriate legal process.
The Contora Model
Our Role in the Transaction
The Seller
Has a property they may wish to sell.
Contora
Understands the opportunity and identifies potentially suitable buyers.
The Investor
Assesses the property and decides whether to proceed.
Contora's role is to create relevant introductions and help facilitate clear communication between serious parties.

The Legal Process

Transparency
Clear Expectations From Day One
Every property and every transaction is different.
Contora does not guarantee that every property submitted will receive an offer, nor do we guarantee a particular sale price or completion date.
Similarly, investors are responsible for carrying out their own assessment and due diligence before committing to an acquisition.
Our objective is to create efficient, credible transactions by connecting parties whose objectives are genuinely aligned.
Fees
Clear About Fees
There is no Contora sourcing or introduction fee charged to property owners simply for presenting their property to our buyer network.
Where an investor sourcing, introduction or consultancy fee applies to a particular opportunity, the relevant terms will be disclosed clearly before commitment.
