When you instruct
us we ask for a non-refundable retainer of £750 which will be
deducted from the final fee. This will cover all initial searches and
viewings in one area for six months. If you're not sure of the area
you want you can instruct us to search additional areas at a cost of
£200 per area. If you still have not found your property after
six months, you can extend the search period at a cost of £200
for each additional three months.
We
will negotiate the purchase price in all packages.
The
final fee is payable on exchange on contracts.
