AGENCY BASIS

This will be as set in the Proposal Letter on the basis of either sole selling / letting rights or sole, joint sole, or multi-agency (see Definitions below).                          

 

 

SUB-AGENTS

The specific right is reserved to appoint one or more sub-agents, at the sole discretion of 99home Limited (at no additional cost to the client) unless specifically instructed in writing to the contrary by the client.

CONFIRMATION OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF APPOINTMENT (The Term) 

The client is requested to sign and return the enclosed duplicate copy of the Proposal Letter as soon as possible thereby confirming instructions so that marketing may begin. Once an instruction is confirmed, all the terms are deemed accepted by the client and cannot be varied except by written agreement. Until such time as the duplicate proposal letter is returned, the terms of the agreement shall be deemed to have been confirmed if verbal instructions to that effect are given by the client. 

 

EXISTING INTEREST 

The Client confirms that at the date of this agreement, there are no prospective purchasers/tenants, from any source, who have expressed an interest in the property. Details of any such parties must be advised to 99Home Limited in writing prior to marketing commencing, otherwise if they are subsequently introduced or we have negotiations with the same then a full fee entitlement will arise. 

 

SUBMISSION OF OFFERS              Initial by Landlord / Seller: .............................................

All offers received for the property will be forwarded to the Client as soon as reasonably practicable, other than those at a level below, subject to conditions, which the Client has previously instructed in writing are to be disregarded. Where the property is let at a progressive rent over the first review period the fee will be calculated on the basis of the average rent payable up to the first rent review. 

 

SURRENDER OF LEASEHOLD INTEREST
