Buyer really beware!! Absolutely read ALL of the small print and make sure to get a structural survey carried out on a property before committing to buy.
I was the winning bidder on a house that was advertised with a completion timescale of 6 weeks or earlier to be able to arrange a mortgage.
It wasn’t until I applied for a mortgage that I found out that the house was of a non standard construction and to be able to get a mortgage it needed a PRC certificate and to obtain said certificate the house requires around 40-50k of renovation work carried out on it!!
If I were to go ahead and spend this money it would take a lot longer than 6 weeks to do it with no guarantee I’d get a mortgage. Absolutely criminal yet the estate agents don’t care and will totally deny all wrong doing as they are not legally obliged to mention the non standard construction unless specifically asked. I have lost ALOT of money and a house that I loved!

Beware, I bought a piece of land worth around £1000 from this auction and had to pay the seller's solicitors fee of around £5000. Beware, read the small terms and conditions and of the sellers called London & Capital Housing Ltd.

Beware of the small print when buying a property through this company.
I spotted the additional £650 legal pack cost & also saw the £1000 Buyers Fee, but missed Clause 15 on their Special Conditions, which covers an additional £4750 Sellers Fee as well.
This Sellers fee is NOT clearly visible on their auction site & I feel is a disgraceful omission.
Buyer Beware, as they say

Be very aware of Witten clause in the special conditions that agree the buyer to Pay either 2.75 % of the sheller legal fees or £4750.00, (of which they don't have to show any evidence) They will always go with the higher of the two sums. It is very miss leading that in classes 8 and 9 these are outlines as far lesser costs only to be superseded later. I would say this is Almost criminal. They could 100% make this clearer and be more upfront that these fee's would be paid to the Seller on completion. You can't help but feel that these are hidden costs

Paul Buchanan was a total star in my quest for a flat in London. I was living in Spain when he assisted my house hunting and while other agents from other agencies were giving me hell with remote viewings and sending me flats that didn’t meet my needs, Paul was always sending me so many nice properties and following up with tenants to see if new flats would become available. He is not your average robot agent, he actually shows his personality and jokes around. In the end I had to go for a different place because I decided to move to a different area for personal reasons. However, if I have to move places again I will contact him for sure. Thanks to Paul I have gained a newfound respect for real estate agents, which I thought I’d never get back.
