Projects
Mason Row works directly with motivated vendors and in the distressed property market where often there is a need for alternative solutions for the vendor when traditional sales through an estate agent do not work.
We provide strategic exit strategies and think outside the box by using a variety of options/ legal solutions which are quick, transparent, ethical and most importantly provides a mutually beneficial outcome for all parties.
Below are examples of the deals that we have previously worked on. The majority of our deals are exclusive and off market giving our investors an excellent opportunity to get a higher than normal return on investment.

MR Twist:
After the success of the Walsall property Mr. Singh returned and asked us to source a second project.
This was a complicated transaction as this is a housing trust flat, which came with its own challenges which we managed to overcome by liaising with the trust, both sets of solicitors and the vendor.
We sourced a one bed flat with the potential of adding a second bedroom which the investor took onboard and more than doubled the value of the property, the vendor currently rents this property out achieving a yield of circa 18% ROI.

MR Twist:
Saved a pending repossession by mediating between two vendors who were divorced and had cut off all contact. The final sale was achieved by paying off the initial arrears and monthly mortgage and taking over the management of the asset through a power of attorney to stabilize the situation.
We then appointed a local agent to sell the property which they managed to complete within sixteen weeks.
