Every care has been taken with the preparation of these particulars but complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed. If there is any point, which is of particular importance to you, please obtain professional confirmation; alternatively, the selling agent will be pleased to check the information for you.

Further information in the form of a ‘Propertymark Property Information Questionnaire’ can be requested via the agent which ensures up front material information is available to you from the very outset.

By purchasing this property the seller and buyer will sign A Gazeal Reservation Agreement. Which is a formal document entered into by both the buyer and the seller that sets out the intention to proceed with the sale of a property. It typically includes a fixed reservation period during which the seller agrees not to negotiate with other parties, providing the buyer with reassurance and reducing the risk of gazumping. Equally, the Buyer is showing their commitment to the Seller.

Both parties agree to certain terms and timelines, and a reservation fee is paid by the buyer of £500. A Gazeal Reservation Agreement includes compensation penalties for unreasonable withdrawals, offering more commitment. Should both parties reach exchange safely under an agreement, the penalty isn't owed and both parties have ensured a safe sale.

Further details on this can be provided upon request.
