AltRoute lists properties and businesses where the seller may be open to alternatives to a conventional bank-funded purchase.
Depending on the individual listing, this could include seller finance, deferred payments, lease options, staged purchases or other privately negotiated purchase structures.
Seller finance is one of the most common examples. Rather than requiring the full purchase price upfront, the seller agrees to receive payment over an agreed period, with the legal agreement prepared by each party's solicitor.
AltRoute does not provide finance, negotiate deals or offer legal or financial advice. We simply help buyers and sellers find each other and make contact directly.
Yes. Alternative purchase structures, including seller finance, have been used for many years in both property and business transactions.
AltRoute is a listing directory only. We are not an estate agent, finance provider, mortgage broker or intermediary. Buyers and sellers negotiate directly and appoint their own independent solicitors.
All parties should obtain independent legal, financial and tax advice before entering into any agreement.
It's the first question buyers ask. Here's why more sellers — particularly retiring business owners and property investors — are choosing this route.
Opens the listing to buyers who can't or don't want a mortgage — significantly more motivated purchasers.
Structured payments over time — useful for retirement planning rather than a lump sum that triggers immediate tax.
Sellers offering flexible terms typically achieve a premium on asking price in return for the arrangement.
Spreading receipt of proceeds over time may offer capital gains advantages. Your solicitor or accountant can advise.
Common in owner-managed businesses — seller stays involved during transition, protecting the value of what they've built.
They tell us what they're selling, the terms they're open to, and how buyers can reach them. We list it. That's our job done.
No middleman. No introduction fee. AltRoute is the noticeboard — what happens next is entirely between you and the seller.
Both parties use their own solicitors, just as with any property or business transaction. Flexible purchase terms agreed privately between buyer and seller.
