Burnley property sourcing fees and scope

Agree scope before work starts

Your enquiry should establish the geographic brief, buying strategy, budget and whether you want introductions only or assistance evaluating opportunities.

Any quoted sourcing fee, payment milestone, refund policy or exclusivity term must be set out in a written agreement before engagement. No fixed tariff is represented on this site.

Know what is separate

Surveyors, solicitors, finance providers, refurbishment contractors, tax advisers and landlord licensing costs may be separate and should be budgeted independently.

You remain responsible for your professional advice and final investment decisions. We cannot guarantee a purchase, a yield or a suitable opportunity.

Start with a conversation

Book a discussion with the property team to explore fit. We will not represent available stock, fees or regulatory registrations without verification.

The minimum written engagement checklist

Before instructing anyone, ask for the contracting entity, precise scope of work, fee basis and trigger, payment handling, cancellation, complaints route, conflicts of interest, duration and responsibilities if a transaction falls through.

Separate professional costs such as survey, conveyancing, lender fees, tax advice, refurbishment and landlord licences. These should not be assumed to be included in sourcing.

Avoid paying for a result nobody has defined

An introduction, a full search, a packaged report and acquisition coordination are different services. Agree deliverables and the boundaries of each. A marketing promise about a discounted or exclusive property needs specific evidence.

The property team can discuss the prospective scope, but no fixed sourcing fee or investment outcome is promised. Any engagement requires agreed written terms.
