THE SMALL PRINT:

We’ve done our homework, but we aren’t fortune tellers. We haven’t poked the boiler, flicked the switches, or tested every light bulb. Nothing here counts as a contract or statement of fact—get your solicitor to check all the serious stuff, like tenure, parking, planning permission, building regs, and all that jazz!

Measurements? Guides only. Floorplans? Handy, but not perfectly to scale. Travelling far? Call first—clarification is free, petrol is not.

We may receive a referral fee if you choose to use third-party services we recommend, such as conveyancers, mortgage advisers, or EPC providers, but you are under no obligation to do so.

AML Checks - Law says we must run one. £96 including VAT per buyer. Tiny toll, big compliance.

Buyer Reservation Fee - Offer accepted? Pay a reservation fee (min £1,000) to lock it in. VIP pass to the property, protects against gazumping. Complete the sale? Fee refunded. Things go sideways? Sometimes non-refundable. Head to our website for full details – or skip the scrolling and just call.
