Why should you trust us and what will it cost?

Our whole business relies upon trust and satisfied customers, so we have constructed a way of working that allows clients to feel confident that we are working hard to advance their interests.

Firstly, we are an independent company, we are not estate agents in sheep’s clothing. We work solely for our clients and show no preference for one estate agent over another. Secondly, we believe in making it quite clear from the outset what our services will cost. That way you can choose which you require and which offer good value for your money. We have no hidden fees or nasty surprises at the end of the consulting. Right at the start of our relationship we will speak to you and gain a clear understanding of what you require from us, we will then send a written confirmation of this to you so you have a contract that makes clear what is to be achieved for the fee.

We want you to be so impressed by our results that you use us again and recommend us to others. The worst result for us is to push you into unwise and hasty investments that you regret at a later date. We believe a good consultant should not be afraid to advise against purchasing if it is not in your best interest, therefore our retainer fee is not dependant upon a purchase.

Retaining Fee; £500 plus VAT
Our investment property services carry a £500 plus VAT retainer fee before we start work and a success fee of 1.5% plus VAT of the purchase price. We class an investment/Buy to Let Property as not a property you would use personally and would be let out on a longer term tenancy agreement i.e min. 6 months rather than holiday letting which comes under our ’Second Home’ service.

These fees are based upon the properties being within 30 miles of our office, more distant properties will require travel expenses at a cost of 0.40ppm. We will also refund any client 10% of their fee for every new client they recommend to us that results in a new client using our services.

You may wish to use our services in a way we have not imagined so do not hesitate to tell us just what you want and we will negotiate a fee.
