Buyers Identification Checks - Should a purchaser(s) have an offer accepted on a property marketed by Carver Residential they will need to undertake an identification check. This is done to meet our obligation under Anti Money Laundering Regulations (AML) and is a legal requirement. We use a specialist third party service to verify your identity, this is not a credit check and will have no effect on credit history. The cost of these checks is £36 inc. VAT per buyer, which is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable.

Property Size - Please note the property size is taken from the Energy Performance Certificate and may not take into account all rooms from the floorplan (due to unheated space not being calculated e.g. this may potentially exclude e.g a conservatory and/or garage)
