£1000 online agent offer

A fee contribution of up to £1,000 (including VAT) will apply if all of the following circumstances are met:

• You are currently on the market with an online agent and have already made payment to them or will be due to make payment to them upon withdrawal of your property.
• You instruct Wards’ recommended conveyancing panel firm at the point of instructing Wards to market your property and if a sale is agreed with Wards continue to use the conveyancing firm until your sale completes.
• If successful completion of your sale through Wards has taken place and our fees have been paid.

Wards must be instructed as Sole Selling Rights Agents for the marketing of your property in accordance with the Terms & Conditions of our separate Sole Selling Rights Agreement.

Before entering into a Sole Selling Rights Agreement, we normally ask sellers to withdraw from all other agents to avoid having to pay more than one fee. However, if you have a deferred payment arrangement with your online agent, withdrawal from them would trigger your liability to pay their deferred fee immediately. We therefore advise for your benefit that you do not withdraw from your online agent in the knowledge that Wards will provide a fee contribution of up to £1,000.00 including VAT in accordance with the Terms & Conditions of our Online Agent Agency Agreement, thereby ensuring that you will not pay two full fees. If you sell to a buyer introduced by your online agent, you understand and agree that you will still have to pay Wards’ fee in accordance with this Sole Selling Rights agreement. If you have already paid your online agent, you must withdraw from them with immediate effect. If you have committed to an exclusive marketing period with any other agent, you must properly terminate their agreement before instructing Wards to prevent the risk of having to pay two fees.

If you remain on the market with your online agent, they must market your property at the same asking price as Wards and you agree to instruct them to amend their asking price if necessary to achieve this.

Proof of the amount paid to the online agent and the date on which payment was made must be provided by way of a receipted invoice on the agent’s headed paper.

The contribution payment will not exceed the online agent’s fees and will be limited to a maximum of £1,000.00 including VAT.

Wards’ commission fee must be paid in full upon completion of the sale before the contribution payment will be made.

The contribution payment will be made by cheque which will be available for collection from the selling office within 14 days of receipt of payment of our commission fee. In the event that you are unable to attend the selling office (i.e. relocation), it will be posted to the forwarding address you have provided.
