Acquisitons/Business Transfer
Acquisitions in the Letting sector are taking up more of our time these days – we are growing this specialism. If you are looking to buy a business or just a portfolio to add to your existing business then ask us as we can help.
Confidentiality
Our extensive industry contacts will ensure that your business will never have to be openly advertised for sale. Potential buyers will not even be told which town you are in until they have signed a non-disclosure agreement. Employees and clients will not find out that you are selling your business until you are ready to tell them.
An Accurate Valuation
We will provide you with an accurate and realistic valuation for your business. If you go to the market at too high a price, there is a real risk that the marketing campaign will stall and you will end up with a lower price than you might otherwise have achieved.
Trouble-Free Sale
Getting a sale agreed can be the easy part.
A great many things can go wrong with the business sale and in the wrong hands a high proportion of business sales fall through.
Our experience and approach will help to spot many of the common problems before they occur and resolve them when they do.
We can also recommend solicitors, accountants, due diligence experts and tax advisors in order to ensure that your sale goes through first time and is trouble-free.
At the End of the Day
In addition to achieving the best price, some other thiings are very important.
We will ensure that your staff understand the position and that your clients are treated respectfully.
We will also ensure that you have a secure contract of employment if you are remaining in the business following a Sale.
Too often non-financial issues such as these can sink a sale.

Reasons to Never Accept a Counter Offer
While many professionals have received counter offers during their resignation process, three
quarters
of those who accepted returned to the jobs market within a year.
Reasons to Never Accept a Counter Offer
You’ve made up your mind it’s time to move. After several weeks of going through the hiring process with your potential new employee, you have received an offer and you happily accept.
Now it’s time to hand in your notice of resignation. Out of the blue, a speed bump in your plan: your manager has presented you with an appealing counter offer.
It is invariably a costly frustration for employers to recruit your replacement and they will often lure you back in to prevent this. They could offer you more money or better benefits, a new position and lots of promises for the future. These factors can be attractive and very tempting to accept. Let’s face it, it’s a safe option.
How mistaken you are! Once your employer knows you are discontented they will regard you as a ‘problem employee’.
“Our research has shown that while many professionals have received counter offers during their resignation process, 74% of those who accepted returned to the jobs market within a year” said Kevin Davidson-Hall, Director and owner of DHPP.

“Our research has shown that while many professionals have received counter offers during their resignation process, 74% of those who accepted returned to the jobs market within a year” said Kevin Davidson-Hall, Director and owner of DHPP.
Here are the DHPP 10 reasons why you should not accept a counter offer.
After weighing up your options you have decided to accept your current employees counter offer. The counter is rarely about the individual – it’s about the current situation you have presented to them. Your current employer doesn’t want the headache of another vacancy to fill, they don’t need a loss of bonuses due to a loss of fee income. There a several things to be wary of;
1. You have made your employer aware you are un happy, from this day on your commitment will always be in question.
2. When business is slow, your employer will begin cutbacks with you.

1. You have made your employer aware you are un happy, from this day on your commitment will always be in question.
2. When business is slow, your employer will begin cutbacks with you.
3. Accepting a counter offer rarely changes the factors that drove you to look for a new job in the first place.
4. Why have they made changes for you now and not before you said you were leaving?
5. Accepting a counter offer shows you can be bought, it highlights some unsurety in your career path.
6. Why are they now bending over backwards for you to stay, think about their motives?
7. Your relationship with your line manager will be affected.
8. Accepting a counter offer allows more time for your current employer to start looking for your replacement.
9. All the reasons why you wanted to leave, will re-surface.
10. There is a risk of burning bridges with your potential employer, who may never consider you again.
Understand the value of new opportunities
It's not just about assessing the potential downfalls of a counter offer, but about considering the value of new opportunities. Will staying at your current company offer the same long-term personal career development as moving into a new role for a new company? Will accepting more money change how you feel about your current job?
In most cases, there are several other factors at play that made you feel like leaving, whether they included unresponsive management, unfavourable working conditions or progression opportunities. Although counter offers can be flattering and even tempting, the risks can outweigh the rewards. It’s crucial to reflect on all the factors of why you started looking for a new job in the first place and evaluate what is right for you and your career..
