2 bed bungalow for sale in Russells Close, East Preston, BN16 (ref: 511412)

Now Reserved... What is a Reservation Agreement? How upsetting is it if a buyer or seller pulls out right at the last moment? You then lose the home you wanted to buy and have a big legal bill.

You may have seen our 'Reserved' properties and wondered what this means. We are the only local agent to use Reservation agreements. We feel it's a no-brainer.

Quite simply, a Reservation Agreement is a legally binding contract between seller and buyer at the point the sale is initially agreed. A time frame is agreed, and neither party can pull out on a whim or mess around. Of course, for something serious or out of their control, either side can walk away with no penalty (we can give you all the ins and outs). If a buyer doesn't want to commit to the agreement, we have doubts about their intentions. Without these agreements, roughly 1/3 of sales fall through in the UK. The Government have not made Reservation agreements law yet, but they recommend the use of them in their guides.

This provides much more certainty on moving home. For more details please go to our website.

Tucked away down a peaceful close sits this well-presented two-bedroom bungalow. It is immaculate inside and out, as the current home owners have recently modernised this bungalow, so you can be sure the finish will last for many years to come. The rear garden is south facing with lawn and a raised decked area from which you can enjoy the rays. This is a fabulous property, and while it is quiet here, with a friendly local community, you are still only 15 minutes' walk from the village centre. EER D64
