How does the property sourcing process work?
Firstly, our clients agree and sign our terms of business Anti Money Laundering (AML) documents. We take detailed instructions on our clients needs and requirements. We provide you our expert knowledge about the current market, regional information and how to avoid pitfalls which can lead to expensive mistakes. This way you have confidence going forward. We provide you details of sourced properties. We discuss the pro and cons with you. If you are keen on the property, we will submit a jointly agreed offer and follow this up with detailed negotiations.
