For Sale by Springbok Properties' using our "Buyer-Friendly" Premium Fast Sale Plus, which puts you in the driving seat thanks to Springbok's fast and secure way of buying.
Our sellers are motivated and willing to price their properties competitively in order to ensure a fast and secure sale.
You can now secure the sale with a reservation deposit of £2,500, this forms part of the final purchase price. It is NOT an extra cost.
An administration fee of £396 draws up an exclusive legally binding contract between the buyer and seller giving the buyer exclusive rights to purchase within a given timeframe.
Paying the reservation deposit ensures that the seller takes their property off the market as soon as the sale is agreed and reserves it exclusively for you, eliminating gazumping and the helps you avoid losing money and wasting time which most buyers like you may face with the traditional estate agent's approach.
You get a fixed exclusivity period (approximately 4 weeks) in which you can arrange surveys and prepare to exchange contracts, safe in the knowledge that you will not be gazumped by another buyer.
Get the best of both worlds: You get to buy properties with a mortgage which are normally reserved for cash-rich investors and cash buyers and you get the security of an exclusive buying transaction with a much smaller deposit.
