The owners of the property said they looked at options with the Bankrobber Gallery in London. The Godden family lost a court battle after trying to sell another Banksy artwork they owned.
The Goddens said: “We are exploring options for the retention, removal or sale of the [Dover} piece.
“We will look to benefit local charities with proceeds from any sale of the piece,” added the family, which has a large property portfolio.
Dover District Council has said it will be using CCTV to monitor the artwork, on York Street, after it was defaced.
