Our Story

Founded in 2014, maple-bison emerged from a recognition that Liverpool's luxury rental market deserved a more refined approach. The city's transformation into a vibrant cultural and commercial centre attracted discerning professionals and families seeking exceptional residences, yet the search process remained fragmented and time-consuming.

Our founding team, combining decades of experience in property, hospitality, and client services, established a consultancy model focused entirely on the tenant experience. Rather than representing properties, we represent people—understanding their requirements, preferences, and lifestyles to identify residences that truly suit them.

Today, we serve a diverse clientele including corporate executives relocating to Liverpool, medical professionals at the city's renowned hospitals, academics at its universities, and international families drawn by the city's unique combination of heritage and modernity.

Our Approach

Principles that guide every client engagement

Efficiency

Your time holds value. We refine extensive market options into curated selections that warrant your attention, eliminating wasted viewings and false starts.

Discretion

Client confidentiality remains paramount. Your requirements, circumstances, and decisions are handled with absolute professional discretion.

Standards

Properties enter our portfolio only after passing rigorous assessment. Location, condition, management quality, and value proposition all undergo scrutiny.

Liverpool Expertise

Liverpool's property landscape encompasses remarkable diversity—from the grand Victorian terraces of Sefton Park to the contemporary developments along the revitalised waterfront. Understanding which neighbourhoods suit which lifestyles requires intimate local knowledge.

Our consultants live in the city they serve. They know which buildings have responsive management, which streets offer morning sunlight, where parking proves challenging, and which emerging areas represent compelling opportunities. This granular understanding informs every recommendation we make.

Beyond property specifics, we provide context on schools, transport links, amenities, and neighbourhood characteristics that shape daily life. For clients relocating from elsewhere, this orientation proves invaluable in making confident decisions.

Client-Centric Model

Traditional letting agents represent landlords, creating an inherent conflict when advising tenants. Our model differs fundamentally—we work exclusively for our clients, with no property owner relationships that might compromise our recommendations.

This independence means we can honestly assess properties, negotiate terms firmly on your behalf, and walk away from unsuitable opportunities without hesitation. When we recommend a property, you can trust that recommendation serves your interests alone.

Our fee structure reflects this alignment. Rather than commissions that incentivise speed over suitability, we charge transparent service fees for defined deliverables. You know precisely what you receive for your investment.

Client Perspectives

"Having relocated from Edinburgh for work, I relied entirely on maple-bison to navigate Liverpool's rental market. Their knowledge of each neighbourhood saved me considerable research time, and the property they found exceeded my expectations."

K. MacLeod Investment Manager

"As a family with specific school requirements, we needed guidance on areas we knew nothing about. The team's insights on catchment areas and family-friendly neighbourhoods proved invaluable. We found a wonderful Georgian house in Mossley Hill."
