Quest Napier
The sale of our business Quest Napier, has recently been completed and we’ve had time to reflect on the purchase and sale of Quest Napier.
We first contacted Lindsay towards the end of 2008 as we had been living overseas but were looking for a business to purchase and return to New Zealand. Crazy as it may seem, we completed all our Due Diligence while away and only returned to New Zealand shortly before the business was due to open. Lindsay guided us through the sale process and liaised with the Quest Head office and the Franchise purchase process. It was time consuming but we all got there in the end.
Lindsay kept in contact during the 9 ½ years we owned Quest Napier and helped us through some issues we had during our tenure. Finally it came to be our turn to sell and we contacted Lindsay again as he knew the business and the property inside out having been there at the beginning.
The sale period was not too long but Lindsay must have fielded and assessed countle-
We were listed with another Agency and failed to reach a sale.
To obtain a sale, we invited Lindsay Sandes from Link Business to sell our motel business. Lindsay advised us of the challenges having Pohutu Lodge sit in the market for a while, however he managed to introduce 51 potential buyers to our sale and despite the interruption of Covid, successfully sold our motel business.
Lindsay navigated the normal challenges of landlords / purchasers, kept us informed and achieved a successful sale in tough times. We have no hesitation recommending Lindsay Sandes to vendors or purchasers who want to achieve their desired exit or a purchase.
Mark and Sherwin, Owners, Pohutu Lodge.-
After inviting submissions to sell our motel, we selected Lindsay Sandes as sole agent as he exuded the professionalism and understanding we thought necessary to achieve a successful sale.
We believe we were privileged to be served by Lindsay. Aside from being thoroughly professional at all times, he removed the stress of sale with his calm manner and thoughtful approach to all aspects of inspection, addressing queries and satisfying purchaser enquiries, through to successful settlement.
Thank you Lindsay. If you are selling your accommodation business, we recommend contacting Lindsay.
Bronny and Steven Pett-
We employed Lindsay from Link Business to sell our motel lease for BKs Egmont Motor Lodge in mid 2019, after running the motel for over 11 years.
The lease was more than half way through the 30 year lease period and accommodation business had been a little slow for the previous few years in New Plymouth, so we were unsure what interest there would be.
Lindsay did an amazing job and was totally professional and extremely competent. Within 2 months of telling Lindsay we wanted to sell the motel lease, we had had 3 suitable
offers, and the sale went through the following month.
After contacting Lindsay he gave a list of information he needed, came and met us, and gave us written advice on a selling price range. The process was very organized and thorough and at all times we felt comfortable with Lindsay’s approach. Lindsay’s marketing of the motel was excellent as we had enquiries immediately and the first offer almost immediately.
