Secure Sale & Buyer Information Pack Disclosure
This property is being marketed with a Secure Sale Pack, designed to help speed up the transaction and provide greater certainty for both buyers and sellers.
As part of this process, key legal searches are ordered at the point the property is listed, rather than after a sale is agreed.

To proceed with an offer, the successful buyer will be required to purchase the Buyer Information Pack at a cost of £325 + VAT. This pack includes the searches and supporting legal information that a buyer would usually need to obtain separately after agreeing a purchase.
