Buyer Process: Our customers use British Homebuyers to either purchase or assist in selling properties quickly and reliably. Therefore any new applicants to purchase are subject to vetting to ensure they meet strict criteria.
Exclusivity Fee: You can secure the purchase by paying an exclusivity fee of £2,000. This grants the buyer exclusive rights to proceed with the purchase for the duration of the conveyancing process, during which time the seller agrees to remove the property from the market and not negotiate with other parties.
The exclusivity fee is returned to the buyer upon successful completion of the purchase.
A processing fee of £250 is required in order to draw up an exclusive legally binding contract between the buyer and seller. This fee also covers the buyer identity verification checks required under UK Anti-Money Laundering Regulations, which are carried out by our independent third-party provider. The agreement sets out the terms of exclusivity and seller commitment but does not constitute an exchange of contracts.
This arrangement provides buyers with reassurance that the property is secured exclusively for them, reducing the risk of gazumping and unnecessary aborted costs.
