We are a niche boutique property agency dealing solely in the hospitality sector and predominantly restaurants. Selsian’s unique selling point stems from our principal and founder, Stephen Bagatti, who has had a wealth of both property and catering experience and has worked for some of the biggest names in both industries. This experience and knowledge has given him an immense understanding of clients’ needs, requirements and more importantly, pressures of the business.

Due to our long established contacts base we are perfectly placed to sell your freehold or leasehold interest confidentially, if required. We are also happy to provide confidential no obligation advice on the market and values.
From the national chain to the first time start up, sometimes finding the right opportunity can be extremely difficult in what can be a crowded and confused market place. Due to our market knowledge we can simplify this process and help you find the opportunity that suites, and often this is off market.
Our team of chartered consultants provide the following services: Energy Performance Certificates (EPC), Lease Renewals Rating, Rent Reviews, Valuations
Due to our expertise on both the property and operator side this gives us the ability to advise not only on the “bricks and mortar” but also the operation. We offer tailored development consultancy from inception all the way through to the completion.

While earning his BSC (with Honours) in Estate Management, Stephen worked in the family restaurant businesses and then in the late 1980’s he started working in the commercial property sector which led him on to practice in both the West End of London and Hong Kong.
Stephen then went on to work within the corporate hospitality sector in both unit and area management for such operators as Scottish & Newcastle and La Tasca. He subsequently re-entered the property market specialising in restaurants for Christie + Co at their central London office and thereafter for Shelley Sandzer and Davis Coffer Lyons.
Having worked for the leading companies in the leisure property industry and covering all aspects of this field, Stephen realised that a sales driven environment can sometimes cloud an agent’s judgment on what is best for the client. With this in mind and with decades of a uniquely combined experience in catering, leisure property, commercial property and corporate hospitality, Selsian was founded in 2008, bringing forth Stephen’s vision for operators to benefit from impartial, straightforward advice and consultancy.
