We're an independent property consultancy and off-portal 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 offer three routes: match your home with a Quiet Seeker buyer, list exclusively with us as a Hush Home or go public on Rightmove.

For buyers, register as a Quiet Seeker and we'll match you to suitable homes as we appraise them or retain us to search proactively on your behalf.

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

We work both sides. Most agents focus on sellers and treat buyers as a means to an end. We invest equally in both, which 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. Off-portal takes effort, relationship-building and genuine buyer knowledge. That's our model, not an afterthought.

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 equal. No agency gets more Rightmove exposure than another. 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. Off-portal 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) or 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.

Your level of exposure, your call. Your home is listed anonymously and exclusively on our Hush Homes page - no front elevation photos, no exact address. You decide how much detail to share and whether to include photos, video reels or social promotion.

Serious buyers only. We introduce your home to vetted Quiet Seekers through our Matchlist. If no match is made immediately, we promote on socials to attract new ones.

No board. No open days. No noise. Viewings at your convenience, offers handled professionally via solicitors, and confidentiality agreed by everyone on the Matchlist.

If off-market does not deliver, we move you to Rightmove. Armed with pricing and presentation insight from your off-portal experience, your launch is sharper and better prepared - not a fresh start. You are already with the right people. Phil and Annabelle know your home, your situation and what the market has said. When the time comes to go public, 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.

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 off-portal or open market is the right route for your home. And straight up if we have any Quiet Seeker buyers who would buy it off-market.

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 potentially match your home with a verified Quiet Seeker 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-portal match before your home goes public. Just check your existing contract for withdrawal fees 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, off-portal or open market, 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 about homes we appraise that match your brief, before they reach any portal. A modest success-based fee applies when you secure a home.

Active Quiet Seeker, retained search. We search proactively on your behalf; 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.

Costs are always clarified. No surprises.

For sellers

Free Appraisal, for active sellers. Already preparing to move? Includes honest valuation, strategic guidance, potential Matchlist inclusion as a Hush Home - and support with Home Report commissioning & 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/upgrade potential.

For buyers

Matchlist Registration, free to join. Register as a Quiet Seeker and we'll match you with suitable homes as we appraise them. If we make a match and you purchase the property, a modest success-based fee applies. 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.

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. There is no stepping away and appointing a different agent if the off-portal route does not deliver - and frankly, you would not want to. If you have come through the off-portal route first, 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.
