Please ensure you read the following terms and conditions:

•  FEES: We will be searching on your behalf to find a suitable property for you. The registration fee is GB £400 inclusive of VAT (if applicable).

In addition, our fees amount to the greater of either 1% of the purchase price or 10% of the negotiated saving between the documented asking price and the price you have agreed to pay, for any property you exchange contracts to purchase an interest in, or one month's rent in respect of any property you agree to rent, during the continuance or within one year after the date of termination or expiry of this Agreement.

For the purposes of our Agreement, we shall be deemed to have introduced a property to you, if you have either received the particulars of a property from ourselves, directly or indirectly, or from any of the firms of estate agents with whom we have regular contact, or through agents or individuals whom you have instructed us to negotiate with on your behalf.

VAT is payable (if applicable) in addition unless otherwise stated.

For the purpose of this Agreement, you will be deemed to exchange contracts to purchase or rent a property if:-

a). you or any close relation, or any other person with the aid of any funds provided by any of such persons, acquires or agrees to acquire, or any body, corporate or trust, in which any of those persons has an interest (directly or indirectly) acquires or agrees to acquire any legal or beneficial or other interest in any freehold, leasehold or commonhold property, or agrees to occupy any such property; or

b). a third party acquires or agrees to acquire any legal or beneficial or other interest in any freehold, leasehold or commonhold property, or agrees to occupy a property and, within one year, you occupy that property either together with or independently of that third party (including temporary occupation for holidays or weekends).

•  PAYMENT: Payment of fees (other than the Registration Fees) shall be made in full on exchange of contracts for the purpose or rent of a property. We reserve the right to charge interest on any sums not paid by the due date at a rate of 4% per annum above NatWest Bank base rate.

•  DURATION: This Agreement shall subsist for an initial period of six months and shall continue for a further period of one year thereafter unless and until terminated prior to the expiry of that period of one year by one month's notice given by either party to the other.

We reserve the right to charge a further Registration Fee if this Agreement continues beyond the initial period of six months, but if we do so then the fee payable on exchange of contracts as detailed under paragraph 3 above will be reduced by the amount of any additional Registration Fee paid.

•  TERMINATION CHARGES: Upon termination or expiry of this Agreement, if you have not purchased or rented or agreed to purchase or rent a property, we shall be entitled to charge you for all reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred by providing services to you up until the date of termination. Any sum charged pursuant to this paragraph shall be deducted from any further payments you make to us on exchange of contracts under paragraph 3 in these terms.

•  LIABILITY: Details of properties, valuations, reports and other information provided by us are prepared in good faith and are solely for your guidance purposes. They do not form any part of any contract relating to the purchase or tenancy of any property. All purchasers and/or tenants must satisfy themselves as to the correctness and accuracy of any details provided by us.

We do not accept any liability for the contents of any report prepared or views of any third party in relation to any property.

We recommend all prospective purchasers and tenants take legal and other advice and use of services of surveyors, valuers, solicitors and other professionals. The service provided by us is not a substitute for obtaining such advice and services.

We do not accept any liability for any defects in legal title or in the fabric and structure of any property, or any fixtures and fittings or the services attached thereto.

•  GENERAL: The supply of the services by us is subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement and unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by us, these conditions shall prevail over any other terms and conditions and shall comprise the whole Agreement between you and us.

No relaxation or delay or indulgence by us in exercising rights or enforcing any of these terms and conditions or the granting of time by us for remedy of any breach shall operate as a waiver of any subsequent or continuing breach.

If at any time these conditions are found to be unreasonable, invalid or unlawful, then the validity of the remaining conditions or parts thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired and shall be in force as if the unreasonable, invalid or unlawful part had not been included.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall confer on any third party any benefit or right to enforce any term of this Agreement.
