Traditional comparison uses the actual fee entered and evidenced by CGT. Difference = traditional agent fee minus the Secured Sale seller agency fee, both including VAT. Other charges and continuing liabilities to an existing agent can reduce the overall saving. The buyer's separate Secured Sale fee is excluded. Ask for the complete written cost schedule.

The thinking behind Secured Sale™

Clarity first. Then commitment.

01 / Prepare earlier.

Understand the property facts, the people and what needs to happen.

02 / Agree the way forward.

Consider price, funding, conditions, costs and responsibilities together.

03 / Follow the plan.

Keep the next action clear through the legal work towards exchange.

What should I know before deciding?

Secured Sale aims to improve clarity and commitment. It does not guarantee exchange or completion. Finance, surveys, title issues and chains can still affect a sale.

A separate buyer's Secured Sale fee applies. Read the written terms for the fee, VAT, timing, refund rules, withdrawal rights and remedies. Independent conveyancing advice remains essential.

The seller's commission and other costs depend on the written seller agreement. Existing agency agreements, notice periods and other-agent fees may still apply. Agree a complete written cost schedule before changing your arrangements.
