SecureMove
This property is being sold using our SecureMove system which includes a buyers information pack and reservation agreement. The buyers information pack contains the TA6, TA10, Land Registry Documentation including Sale Deeds and searches including the Local, Environmental, Water, Drainage and if necessary a mining search. This is designed to speed up the conveyancing process and provide buyers and their solicitors with as much information about their purchase as possible from the outset.
The buyer is required to pay Nicholsons Estate Agents a fee of £350 for the buyers information pack, this is reduced to £250 if a buyer chooses to use our recommended solicitor, this fee is paid once a buyers offer has been accepted and they have been fully financially qualified. The legal pack will remove the fee for searches which a buyer would ordinarily need to pay their own lawyer and are non-refundable. If our searches become outdated during the transaction, we will order replacements for you at no extra charge.
The reservation agreement stops either party just walking away or attempting to renegotiate the price after an offer is accepted. With our Secure process, once the offer has been agreed, both Buyer and Seller sign a Reservation Agreement, the property is then formally withdrawn from the market and both are bound by the terms within. If either party withdraw and break the agreement then the innocent party is entitled to a guaranteed compensation payment. This gives both parties security and peace of mind that the sale is secure and means that you reduce the risk of fall throughs.
