You can secure this property with an optional reservation deposit of £2,500. This forms part of the property's total purchase price and is not an additional fee. The deposit draws up a legally binding exclusivity agreement which gives exclusive rights to purchase the property within an agreed timeframe.

The reservation deposit guarantees that the seller will remove their property from the market as soon as the offer is accepted and the deposit is paid. This means that the property is reserved for you, giving you time to complete the sale without the risk of being gazumped.

The fixed exclusivity period (typically 8-10 weeks) allows you to prepare financing, surveys and property searches with the confidence that you aren't wasting money on a sale that may fall through.
