About Papermill Place

Who we are

Background

Papermill Place buys rentals, blocks and mixed-use buildings where a quiet, certain sale is preferred. Sellers speak to us when they want a buyer who understands tenants, deals with works calmly and keeps the process simple.

We take on buildings that need attention, from basic upgrades to compliance work, and handle everything without adding pressure during the sale.

You deal with one decision-maker, no chain and no repeated viewings. We cover the seller’s legal fees so the process moves without delay and your cost to sell stays low. This approach gives sellers a straightforward route out and confidence that the property is handed to a responsible buyer.

How we look at property

We look at each property as something we’ll own and look after for the long term.

When we assess a building, we’re honest about what it actually needs – compliance, repairs, layout tweaks, energy improvements or tighter management.

We base our offers on realistic rents and genuine costs – and we aim for a straightforward, no-nonsense process with as little disruption as possible for you and your tenants. If a property fits our criteria, we’d rather agree a fair price, move at a sensible pace, and then quietly get on with the work of improving and managing it for the long term.
