Referral Fees

SALES

Choices Estate Agents Limited (Choices) routinely refers both sellers and potential purchasers to a selection of carefully chosen third party service providers. These include, but are not limited to, surveyors, solicitors, conveyancers and financial advisors.

We should emphasise that any quoted prices are fixed and independent of whether you use us for any other services. Equally the prices of the other services we may provide to you are not connected in any way to whether you choose to use any of the services. 

It is important as well for you to know that the advice and service you receive from any one of these firms remains totally independent and they always remain subject to your instructions. You are under no obligation to use any of the recommended providers, who act completely independently from Choices. 

In making your decision on whether to choose a specific service provider, sellers/purchasers should be aware that Choices may receive referral fees for such referrals.

For referrals to surveyors and solicitors the referral fees vary from £66 incl. vat up to £300 incl. vat per referral. For referrals to financial advisors the fee which we receive is variable. Choices receives up to 30% incl. vat of the initial commission that the financial advisor receives for any mortgage business they undertake for clients introduced by us.

All third-party service providers who we recommend are independent of Choices. There is no obligation to use their services and sellers/purchasers are free to engage with third parties of their choice.

Current third-party service providers from whom we may receive a referral fee are detailed below.

  • Taylor Rose (conveyancing)
  • Lewis & Dick (conveyancing)
  • AVRillo (conveyancing)
  • NPS Law (conveyancing)
  • Countrywide Surveyors
  • Arnold & Baldwin Surveyors
  • Hawke FS (financial services – mortgages)
  • AWS Private Finance (financial services – mortgages)
  • Just Move in (homemover services)

 

LETTINGS

Choices may from time to time offer the services of a company in which it has an interest to carry out repairs, maintenance, inventories, or statutory obligations to the property. Choices may also receive a commission of up to 24% incl. vat where it introduces a company in which it does not have an interest.

I want to give a massive thanks to Nicola MacDonald who managed the sale of my property. Cannot recommend highly enough. Given I live abroad, she helped massively in chasing up the buyer parties and the management company for my property. She acted with a great deal of diligence, scrutinising all the correspondence, ensuring actions and dates were promptly followed up. She kept my conveyancing team on their toes, holding them to account every time they dropped the ball (which they did a lot!). If it wasn't for her efforts, I daresay I'd still be waiting to complete the sale of my house. She made sure I was kept in the loop all the way, keep me updated with how things were tracking with the buyer and what I needed to provide. Honestly think she did most of the work that my conveyancers should have done. If you need a property sold and require someone who will work tirelessly and diligently and treat you with care and respect, then you will not regret engaging and hiring Nicola to be your sales manager. While this sounds like hyperbole, it's not - There's not enough stars available on this review to do her expertise and work justice.
