Neighbourhood Profile Often, many of the people who live in this sort of postcode will be low income singles living in small rented flats. These are known as type 22 in the ACORN classification and 1.38% of the UK's population live in this type. Geographically neighbourhoods fitting this profile occur in various locations including Canterbury, seaside towns such as Torquay and Blackpool, and Scottish towns such as Dundee, Galashiels, and Paisley. These neighbourhoods are largely composed of single people, both young and old. Around 20% of the people in these areas are in their 20s, but 10% are over 75. Both are well above the national average. The dominant characteristic is the single person renting small flats. There may also be some communal establishments such as nursing homes. Incomes are quite low. People have average educational qualifications. Their relatively routine jobs are in shops and offices, and there is some unemployment. With the elderly contributing to higher than average numbers of people with long term illnesses, these areas are beginning to experience some need for social services. While the younger people aspire to gold cards, interactive TV and telephone banking, the reality is they have low limits on their credit cards, plan to pay off debts, and possibly need a loan. Their spending on food is low, and catalogue shopping helps them economise. Few people own a car, with those who do paying high insurance premiums. Most get about on foot, by bike, or public transport. The pub is a relatively popular place for eating, either at lunch-time or in the evening. Leisure interests tend to be football and betting on the horses. At home they might unwind by listening to music or reading a novel. There is a keen interest in self-improvement and education.

If you are unsure about any terms, please e-mail the company for further clarification.

Most of the deals offered by the company are subject to adherence with a strict payment and contractual schedule.

Reservation Procedure Reservation of a property grants to the Purchaser a prior right of purchase over that property. To reserve a property, the Purchaser must pay a Reservation Fee, which consists of two elements. The amount is stated on all property details and is variable by property. The first element is non refundable but is credited towards the purchase of the property. The second element is refundable should the vendor withdraw from the sale. The Purchaser must be ready to complete within 28 days of the Reservation being confirmed unless stated or agreed otherwise. A Reservation is not confirmed until the Purchaser has been notified in writing by the company and the agreed Reservation and Administration Fees have been paid by the Purchaser. The Purchaser will be notified of the full address of the property only when the agreed Reservation and Administration Fees have been received by the company. Upon receipt of the agreed Reservation and Administration Fees the Purchaser will be granted an Assessment Period of five working days during which time the Purchaser may complete any due diligence and must be satisfied that the property is sufficient and appropriate for purpose. If the Purchaser wishes to withdraw from the purchase during the Assessment Period, the Purchaser must notify the company in writing immediately. The agreed Reservation and Administration Fees (less the secondary element of the Reservation Fee of £500) will be refunded in this event. Following the Assessment Period, if the Purchaser chooses to withdraw from the purchase no refund will be given. The Administration Fee is non refundable except where the vendor withdraws the property from sale or the property does not value at the agreed purchase price and the purchaser decides not to proceed to completion because of either of those reasons. No interest shall accrue to the Purchaser in the event of a refund of the Administration Fee. The company does not accept responsibility for any expenses or losses incurred by the purchaser in any event including if the property fails to achieve a valuation sufficient to that given in the promotion. Expenses and losses include but are not limited to valuation fees, broker fees, legal fees and research fees. The purchaser is responsible for performing his/her own due diligence in order to determine the property’s value and suitability before accepting the deal and is given five working days for this purpose. Unless stated or agreed otherwise, it is a condition of the Reservation that the Purchaser completes the purchase using a solicitor and/or a mortgage advisor nominated or approved by the company. If the purchaser uses his own solicitor, the purchaser agrees to give the company full contact details of the solicitor, agrees to inform the company if the solicitor is changed at any time during the transaction, and in the case of gold and Platinum members will authorise the solicitor to pay the company that proportion of the Administration Fee due, directly at completion. If a situation occurs where more than one applicant requests to reserve the same property, the property will be allocated to a single Purchaser at the discretion of the company. The decision to allocate a property to a particular Purchaser will be based on the merit of each applicant’s request and perceived likelihood that the purchase will continue to completion. The company will notify unsuccessful applicants either in writing (electronic or otherwise) or by telephone. The decision of the company is final.

Disclosure of Information Each party acknowledges and agrees that any information relating to the other party's business which is not generally known to the public is confidential and proprietary information. The Purchaser agrees not to disclose the details of the seller, the property, or the property builder to third parties without prior written agreement from the company. The Purchaser agrees not to disclose the details of the property sourcing company to third parties without prior written agreement from the company, or to use the services of the property sourcing company again without the engagement of the company.
