Reservation Agreement
The seller(s) of this property has requested a ‘Reservation Agreement’ to protect serious buyer(s) as they proceed to exchange of contracts. We now offer a higher level of certainty to Buyers and Sellers by offering a Reservation Agreement before we remove a property from the market. Our system stops either party just walking away or attempting to renegotiate the price after an offer is accepted. With our SecureMove 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once the offer has been agreed, both Buyer and Seller sign a Reservation Agreement, the property is then formally withdrawn from the market, and both are bound by the terms within.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 or break the agreement, then the innocent party is entitled to a compensation payment which Gazeal guarantee. This gives both parties security and peace of mind that the sale is secure and means that you reduce the risk of fall throughs. For more information on reservation agreements visit www.homes-partnership.co.uk/reservation-agreements.
