- What value range of properties will you search for?
- From £450,000 upwards
- How much do you charge?
- We ask for an initial retainer fee to begin our search of £500 + VAT. The fee is then calculated at the higher of £5,000 or 1% of the purchase price of the property plus VAT. This is payable on the exchange of contracts.
