There are many reasons to sell your historic property, palace, castle or luxury property


The expert brokers at ASP Global Luxury Brokers receive between 20 to 40 enquiries a month regarding the sale of palaces, castles, stately homes, historic and luxury properties. There are many good reasons to decide to sell or lease your historic property.

The main reasons are currently:

You can only sell your stately home / castle /luxury villa /palace once – make sure you choose the right partner to do so!

Once you have reached the decision to sell your historic property, it is imperative that you seek the support of an experienced and professional broker for historic buildings. A normal property broker will be of little help, lacking the expertise, the national and international contracts, and the network and sales channels required to market your palace, castle or exceptional luxury property professionally and present it in the appropriate channels. You are not trying to sell any old property, but a piece of history full of its own history and in the case of properties with extensive agricultural lands, an economically viable business. Prospective buyers will not buy your property just because it looks beautiful or appealing but because they need to be able to make a living, need to be able to maintain the palace or castle and want to make a profit from it. This is where our professional brokers for historic properties, palaces, castles and luxury properties step in – they will illustrate to prospective buyers and investors that they can be successful and earn money with your property! In the case of residential palaces, castles or luxury villas they will prove what a great place it could be to live. They will provide prospective buyers with an understanding of your business, offer help organising finance for the purchase and support both owners and buyers until the day of changeover following the exchange of contracts.
