I was recommended by a couple of local selling agents in Huntingdon to choose a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your services rather than another?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

Am in the process of purchasing my 1st property in Huntingdon. Conveyancing solicitor already instructed. The broker pointed out that a survey is not needed as the property was only constructed in 1997.

As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence was constructed more than a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be enough. The report should highlight any apparent problems and recommend additional investigation if appropriate. Where there are any indications of problems obtain a comprehensive structural survey.
