Code of Practice for Residential Estate Agents: Effective from 1 August 2011:
'8. Financial Evaluation 8a At the time that an offer has been made and is being considered by the seller, you must take reasonable steps to find out from the prospective buyer the source and availability of his funds for buying the property and pass this information to the seller. Such information will include whether the prospective buyer needs to sell a property, requires a mortgage, claims to be a cash buyer or any combination of these. Such relevant information that is available should be included in the Memorandum of Sale having regard to the provisions of the Data Protection Act.8b These reasonable steps must continue after acceptance of the offer until exchange of contracts (in Scotland, conclusion of missives) and must include regular monitoring of the prospective buyer's progress in achieving the funds required, and reporting such progress to the seller.
The agent has not tested any apparatus, equipment, fixtures and fittings or services and so cannot verify that they are in working order or fit for their purpose. A Buyer is advised to obtain verification from their solicitor or surveyor. References to the Tenure of the Property are based on information supplied by the Seller. The agent has not had sight of the title documents. A Buyer is advised to obtain verification from their Solicitor.
