We're an independent property consultancy and off-market property matchmaker. An agent - just not like the others.

Most agents introduce you to buyers after you've committed. We publish active, verified buyers on our website so you can see demand for yourself. That gap is where the best sales happen.

For sellers, we work in three stages: (1) we introduce your home privately to matched Quiet Seekers, off market, (2) we list it discreetly as a Hush Home, with the address withheld and no portal listing, and (3) if needed, we launch it on Rightmove.

For buyers, register as a Quiet Seeker and we alert you privately to matching homes before they go public, or retain us to search proactively on your behalf.

Clarity, strategy, discretion. Three things the property market rarely offers. We bring all three.

We look after buyers properly. Most agents focus on sellers and treat buyers as a means to an end. We act for the seller, and we invest real time in our Quiet Seekers. That is why our Matchlist works.

We do the off-market work others can't be bothered with. Larger agents default to Rightmove because large portal exposure is easier to sell to vendors. Selling off market and off portal takes effort, relationship-building and genuine buyer knowledge.

Our buyer database is actually alive. Most agents have a list. Few maintain it. Ours is there for everyone to see on this website. We consult personally with every Quiet Seeker, so we know who is genuinely motivated and who has moved on.

Once you're on Rightmove, every agent is fishing in the same pond: What differs is everything that happens before and around it.

You get us. Not a team that passes you around. Annabelle and Phil handle your transaction from start to finish. Occasionally things slip, but if they do you're speaking directly to the people responsible.

Bigger isn't better. It's just louder.

Not at all. A quiet sale works just as well for flats and bungalows as it does for larger homes. It is not about price; it is about preference.
Cheaper and quieter. No photography (unless you want it) and no Rightmove portal fees. The only upfront cost is the Home Report. Everything else is success-based: no sale, no charge, saving up to £1,500 in marketing costs.
Private first. As an Off-Market Home, your home is matched privately with our registered Quiet Seekers through the Matchlist. Nothing is published.
Then discreet, if you want wider reach. As a Hush Home, your home is listed on our Hush Homes page and socials, with no front elevation photos and no exact address. You decide how much detail to share and whether to include photos, video reels or social promotion. It is not on any portal, and any genuine buyer can enquire.
Then the open market, if needed. If the right buyer has not come forward, we launch you on Rightmove. Armed with pricing and presentation insight from the quiet stages, your launch is sharper and better prepared. You are already with the right people. Phil and Annabelle know your home, your situation and what the market has said. You are not starting again. You are moving forward with a team that has been with you from day one and will see it through to completion.
No board. No open days. No noise. Viewings at your convenience, offers handled professionally via solicitors, and everyone who views signs our confidentiality terms.

You get a clear, honest picture of where your property stands.
A realistic value range based on current data, not inflated to win your business, and double-checked by an RICS surveyor. Straightforward advice on presentation and market readiness. A frank conversation about whether to start as an Off-Market Home, a Hush Home or on the open market. A straight answer on how many Quiet Seekers are looking for a home like yours.

No fluff. No false promises. Just the information you need to make a confident decision.

It depends where you are in the process.
Haven’t signed with anyone yet? Perfect timing. We can carry out a full appraisal and show you which Quiet Seekers are looking for a home like yours before you commit to anything.
Signed but not yet live, or spotted a Quiet Seeker who looks like your buyer? Get in touch. There may still be a window for an off-market match before your home goes public. Just check your existing contract for withdrawal fees and sole agency terms before changing course.
Already live but things aren’t going to plan? We’ll carry out a discreet independent review covering the likely culprits: overvaluation, weak presentation or misaligned marketing. We’ll clarify what your contract allows and explore whether a relaunch as a Hush Home or on Rightmove is the right next move.
The earlier you talk to us, the more we can do.

It starts with information gathering. We learn your wishlist, budget, timeline and search criteria, then build your anonymous Quiet Seeker profile. That profile appears on our website and socials, giving motivated homeowners a reason to raise their hand before listing anywhere.

From there, you choose how active you want to be.

Passive Quiet Seeker, free to register. You hear first, privately, about Off-Market Homes that match your brief, before they go public. A modest success-based fee applies only if you buy an Off-Market Home we revealed to you. There is no fee on Hush Homes or open market homes you first see in public.
Active Quiet Seeker, retained search. We search proactively on your behalf, with targeted approaches to homeowners, direct engagement with local agents and off-market opportunities surfaced ahead of the crowd. A success-based fee applies if we secure your home. If a home we find is one we are selling, we will tell you, as we act for that seller.
Costs are always clarified. No surprises.

For sellers
Free Appraisal, for active sellers. Already preparing to move? Includes honest valuation, strategic guidance, potential matching with our Quiet Seekers as an Off-Market Home or Hush Home, and support with Home Report commissioning and next steps. No fee, no obligation.
Just Because Appraisal, paid, for curious homeowners. Not ready to sell but wondering what your home is worth? A written report with comparables, a clear value range and honest advice on condition and upgrade potential.

For buyers
Matchlist Registration, free to join. Register as a Quiet Seeker and we alert you privately to Off-Market Homes that match your brief, before they go public. A modest success-based fee applies only if you buy an Off-Market Home we revealed to you. No purchase, no charge.
Pre-Offer Property Appraisal, paid. We assess the property, check the Home Report, verify value against local data and advise on offer strategy before you commit.
Remote Viewing via WhatsApp, paid. Can’t attend in person? We go for you. Live or recorded walkthrough, photos, honest impressions and offer strategy advice.
Overseas Buyer Advisory, paid. A one-hour session demystifying the Scottish buying process, Home Reports and agent dynamics. Tailored to your situation.
Our paid buyer services are not available on homes we are selling, as we act for the seller.

No. Our open market fees are as competitive as any other agent.
What you get on top is continuity.
When you instruct Mowatt, our agreement carries through every stage. If the Off-Market Home or Hush Home stages do not deliver, there is no need to appoint a different agent. Frankly, you would not want to. If you have come through the early stages with us, we already know your home, your situation and what the market has told us. Your open market launch is sharper, better priced and better presented from day one.

And throughout all of it, you deal with Phil and Annabelle. Start to finish. No handoffs, no junior negotiators, no being passed around.

One fee. One team. All the way through.

Home Reports
Home Reports for open market homes are available to any genuine buyer on request. We may ask you to sign our confidentiality terms on Hush Homes before we send it.

Who we act for
We act for the seller of every home we market. Quiet Seekers may pay us a fee for their own services, under separate terms. If a conflict of interest arises, we will tell you straight away.
