The Seller appoints their local PHL Partner to market and sell the Seller’s property (the “Property”) for a commission of 1% of the final sale price plus VAT.
2.
The Seller agrees to grant their local PHL Partner access to their Property in order to perform a market appraisal and produce the virtual tour and marketing material to be included on the PHL website.
3.
The Seller agrees to provide all necessary information to produce the marketing material to the PHL Partner within 7 days of their instruction. By law, all information supplied about the Property must be accurate and not misleading.
4.
By signing these Terms and Conditions the Seller confirms that everything in the marketing material is correct. The Seller agrees to inform the PHL Partner if the marketing material is incorrect or if any changes take place which may later require the marketing material to be amended.
5.
The Seller confirms that they are aware that, if they have entered into a sole or multiple agency agreement with any other party in relation to the sale of their property, they may be liable to pay the other party commission in addition to any other costs or charges agreed with that other party if at any time unconditional contracts for the sale of the Property are exchanged with a Purchaser introduced by that other party during the period of their agency and under those terms.
6.
PHL or a person connected to PHL may offer potential Buyers services including mortgage arrangement, investments, life and general assurance, survey services, conveyancing and chattel auctions.
7.
The Seller agrees to instruct their Solicitor/Licensed Conveyancer to prepare a Sellers’ legal pack as soon as possible. The legal pack will be made available to view on the PHL auction website or can be obtained directly from the Sellers’ Solicitor/Licensed Conveyancer for a fee specified by them. The Property will be marketed on the PHL website for a marketing period (the “Marketing Period”) before the auction date.
8.
Potential Buyers will be able to view properties on the PHL website for the duration of the Marketing Period before the Property’s auction date. The standard pre-auction Marketing Period is 27 days and the online auction will take place on the day after the preauction Marketing Period expires (the “Auction Date”). Although these timescales are standard, they can be varied at the discretion of the Seller or PHL.

If a potential Buyer pledges the full Buy It Now Price during the marketing period, the Seller agrees that the offer is immediately accepted.

The Seller also agrees to a reserve price to be in force if the auction takes place should the Buy It Now Price not be attained during the Marketing Period. In this event, the Property will be sold to the highest bidder whose bid is in excess of the reserve price at the end of the auction period.
