Secure

Cooper Adams has looked at ways to speed up the moving process and remove the risk of a sale falling through.

Buyers and sellers want Transparency, Certainty and Reliability.

A property needs to be 'Sale Ready' - as a seller would you prefer an uninformed or an informed buyer you can rely on?

'Cooper Adams Secure' is our process to speed up a sale and provide certainty from your buyer.

We will put together key information on what a buyer wants and collate a legal pack at the commencement of marketing to include all/some of the following:

• Property Information form
• Fixtures & Fittings List
• Leasehold forms
• Flooding info
• HM Land Registry title documents
• Gas checks completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer (or Corgi-registered engineer prior to 2009)
• Electrical checks – an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) or a NAPIT or NICEIC certificate/report from a registered electrical competent person
• FENSA or CERTAS certificates for windows
• Planning permission for any major work carried out
• Building regulation completion certificates and builder’s guarantee certificates for alterations or additions
• Subsidence guarantees/warranties • damp guarantees/warranties
• Party wall agreements (if relevant)
• If a listed building, listed building consent for interior and exterior works
• If your home is in a conservation area, conservation area consent for works
• Japanese knotweed management plans (if relevant)
• Specialist asbestos surveys (if relevant)
• Any title information
• Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
• Any special covenants
• Extra info a buyer should be made aware of

This will be shared with any interested party before they offer. They will be able to make an informed offer based upon this information, they won't be surprised later down the line.

We also recommend our 'Law Society Approved' reservation agreement. This is put in place to stop a seller or buyer withdrawing from the transaction on a whim. A commitment from both sides.

No other local agent can offer this Transparency, Security or Peace of Mind on a Sale or Purchase.

The system is HM Government approved.
