PURPOSE OF THESE PARTICULARS

The information given in these particulars is intended to help you decide whether you wish to view this property and to avoid wasting your time in viewing unsuitable properties. We have tried to make sure that these particulars are accurate but to a large extent we have to rely on what the client tells us about the property. We are unable to verify every piece of information ourselves as the cost of doing so would be prohibitive and we do not wish to unnecessarily add to the cost of any transaction.

Once you find a suitable property you wish to occupy you will need to carry out more investigations into the property than it is practical or reasonable for an estate agent to do when preparing particulars. For example we have not carried out any kind of survey on the property to look for structural effects and would advise any interested parties to obtain a surveyor’s report before committing themselves to a transaction. We have not checked whether any items of equipment with the property (such as heating systems) are in working order and would advise these are checked. You should also instruct a solicitor to investigate all legal matters relating to the property. Your solicitor will also agree with the owner, landlord or assignor what items (for example fixtures and fittings) will be included in a transaction.

In addition to the above, please read the printed additional guidance on the bottom of the front page.
