Challenges & Goals of Selling the Lettings Agency

Established in 1995, Abaco Estates was a long-standing lettings business with a managed property portfolio across London.

After many years in the sector, the owners made the decision to sell the business. The priority was to ensure the process was handled carefully, discreetly and professionally, with minimal disruption for landlords, tenants and the wider operation.

With an established portfolio and long-standing client relationships, it was important to find a buyer with the experience and structure to manage the transition smoothly.

Atomic Consultancy’s Approach

Atomic Consultancy worked with the sellers to understand the business, assess the portfolio and position the opportunity appropriately within the market.

Given the London location and established lettings portfolio, the business represented an attractive opportunity for a buyer looking to expand its managed property base.

Dexters was identified as the right buyer for the transaction. Atomic supported the process from initial discussions through to negotiation and progression, helping to maintain clear communication and structure throughout.
