Quotes and Requesting Use of Service Providers

We do not sell property.

Quotes are received by the following process:

• Using this information, we recommend a selection of Service Providers that match your requirements.

• Service Providers provide an indicative quote for the sale of your property.

• You consider the quote and service levels on offer, and if you are interested, request a meeting/call to discuss said service further.

• If after the meeting/call, you agree to instruct that Service Provider you will enter into an agreement with that Service Provider. We are not a party to that agreement.
