Deferred Payment

There is no requirement for your clients to pay the fee upfront, instead the payment is delayed (deferred) for either 9 months or when the property has sold - whichever is the sooner.

As the packs include these compulsory documents:

An index (i.e. a list of the contents of the Pack)

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

A sale statement (summarising the terms of sale)

Evidence of title

Standard searches (e.g. local authority enquiries and a drainage and water search)

Where appropriate, commonhold information

Where appropriate, leasehold information

Some of which are prepared by outside professionals, such as home inspectors or surveyors (who will themselves require paying), there is an additional cost incurred by the provider.

In order to cover these additional costs a deferred payment will cost your clients slightly more than if they pay upfront.
