Welcome to the Appleby Estate website.
If you continue to use this website you are agreeing to comply and be bound by the following terms and conditions of use which in addition to our privacy policy govern Appleby Estate’s relationship with their customers when using this website.
The use of the Appleby Estates website is subject to the following terms of use:
How it works?
Appleby Estates will make you an informal offer in principle initially over the phone and if this is of interest we will arrange for our asset management company to undertake an appraisal of your property (2 x agent appraisals).
Appleby Estates generally receives the valuation report back within 4/5 working days and from that we can make you an offer subject to contract and survey. If you decide to accept Appleby Estates’s offer we will instruct solicitors and instruct a RICS valuation which will be undertaken by an independent chartered surveyor. The costs of this and any other seller’s costs are covered by Appleby Estates at all times.
If the survey states that the property is not mortgageable or is not a standard type of construction our formal offer may be amended or in some cases retracted. The survey is available for inspection by all clients.
With regards to lawyers, you can instruct your own lawyer or you can use one, which is recommended by Appleby Estates. If customers decide to use a lawyer recommended by us we will cover your legal fees up to £500 + VAT. This will only be payable on completion and will not be paid if the sale does not complete.
Appleby Estates generally don’t meet clients face to face so we use an external agency so that the true identity of the property owner can be established. The external agency will also verify ID and all original documents (passport, Driving license, utility bills) and they will request your signature for Appleby Estates’s records.
Clients are under no obligation to proceed with a sale to Appleby Estates, but after an exchange, which is legally binding, a completion date will be set.
Occasionally we may agree for clients to remain in their property after completion but this will only be for a short period of time (no longer than a week). We would get the solicitors to draw up a license to occupy upon which both parties would sign.
Disclaimer
Appleby Estates accepts no liability for the content of this website and any liability can be excluded by law.
Appleby Estates will always complete in a timescale to suit you but accepts no liability if a completion date cannot be met or if a purchase does not take place for whatever reason.
