**Mortgage Advisor** - We offer financial services here at Bernards. If you would like to review your current Agreement In Principle or are yet to source a lender, we have a number of experienced Financial Advisors who will be happy to help.

**Offer Check Procedure** - If you are considering making an offer for this or any other property Bernards Estate Agents are marketing, please make contact with your local office so we can verify/check your financial/Mortgage situation.

**Conveyancing** - Choosing the right conveyancing solicitor is extremely important to ensure that you obtain an effective yet cost-efficient solution. The lure of supposedly cheaper on-line "conveyancing warehouse" style services can be very difficult to ignore but this is a route fraught with problems that we strongly urge you to avoid. A local, established and experienced conveyance will safeguard your interests and get the job done in a timely manner. Bernards can recommend several local firms of solicitors who have the necessary local knowledge and will provide a personable service. Please ask a member of our sales team for further details.

**Anti-Money Laundering** - Bernards Estate agents have a legal obligation to complete anti-money laundering checks. The AML check should be completed in branch. Please call the office to book an AML check if you would like to make an offer on this property. Please note the AML check includes taking a copy of the two forms of identification for each purchaser. A proof of address and proof of name document is required. Please note we cannot put forward an offer without the AML check being completed
