DECISIONS
We will provide you with as much information as possible regarding the properties that we introduce to you. Our professional unbiased and independent advice will highlight the positives and negatives of each property and enable you to make informed decisions.We will represent you in all negotiations with the marketing agents and the owners and keep them at arms length, in order that you will be able to make decisions without undue pressure. We will only put forward offers on your behalf when we have discussed the merits of an offer and you have confirmed
instructions that you wish us to proceed.
PREPARATION
In order that we may represent your offer in the strongest possible terms, it is important that you arrange your finance and instruct your solicitor at an early stage. It is sometimes possible for exclusive lock out agreements to be signed at the time that an offer is agreed. Lock out agreements offer a degree of protection against Gazumping, but in order to take advantage of the exclusive time period your solicitor needs to briefed and available to undertake the conveyance at short notice. We are able to recommend Independent Financial Consultants and Solicitors if required.
ACQUISITIONS
Once a deal is agreed, we confirm the details of the deal in writing with the owners or their agents and the solicitors, and continue to oversee the transaction until completion.We will liaise between your Surveyor, Bank and Solicitor to ensure that deadlines are met and that your advisors have the necessary information that they require. By improving communications between each party and expediting the transaction within a matter of days, the chances of being gazumped and incurring abortive legal costs are greatly reduced. This becomes more important when the
property is likely to be in high demand and we are in a competitive situation. As outlined above the use of Lockout Agreements can play a part in the process.
