Deposit, contracts and completion process

Following acceptance of a buyer’s offer, a 10% deposit is lodged in escrow to hold the agreement in place as the sale progresses. The sales contract, covering all negotiated conditions, is prepared to ensure clarity and security throughout the transaction.

Once every condition has been met according to the contract, the buyer transfers the remaining balance directly to your account. This approach provides transparency and peace of mind at every stage of the sale.
