We may not be contracted to assist with the sales negotiations, however we are happy for you to include us in the offers.

If we are not, we strongly suggest requesting all the buyers information for your own records: full address, ID and contact details, so you can contact each other swiftly.

Buyer information:
You will need to request a memo of sale from the vendor (property owner). This is a document with all the information of both parties to pass on to your solicitors to start the process. So, in return for your information you should request an email or letter confirming from the owner or developer stating:

• Acceptance of your offer

Your mortgage company will organise a survey, you may want to at request a more detailed report, which will give you peace of mind. WE can help you with a surveyor within your area just call 0333 4441007.

In compliance with the Estate Agents Act 1979, we are bound to comply with and act in accordance with that legislation specifically with our client's best interest at heart, but naturally we also have a care of duty to you as a buyer as well. As a nationwide online estate agency our experience shows that everyone will mutually benefit from a speedy and diligent transaction, if we have the complete cooperation of all parties including, but not limited to; sellers, buyers, estate agents, solicitors and mortgage brokers.
