In Compliance with the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 Sinclair Estate Agents Limited must disclose to clients (both sellers & buyers) the receipt of fees we receive, including referral fees, within the Estate Agency sector.

As well as a vendor’s obligation to pay our commission or fees we may also receive a commission, payment, fee, or other reward or other benefit (known as a Referral Fee) from ancillary service providers for recommending their services to our clients. These referral fees also apply to buyers.

REFERRAL SERVICE PROVIDERS:

Financial Services

We recommend sellers and/or potential buyers use the service of Rumi Mortgages Limited. Rumi Mortgages may charge a fee for their advice and service, the actual amount you pay will depend upon your circumstances. Rumi Mortgages may also receive a commission from the lender or provider for arranging your mortgage or insurance.

We will receive a referral fee for introducing you to Rumi Mortgages. The amount of referral fee paid by Rumi Mortgages to us is typically £138. Further commissions may be payable by Rumi Mortgages to Sinclair Estate Agents dependent upon product selection. These commissions, if applicable are not paid by you but by Rumi Mortgages and will be included within the paperwork provided to you by Rumi Mortgages

Conveyancing

We recommend sellers and/or potential buyers use the services of our preferred solicitors. We receive a referral commission per legal completion when a client instructs one of our recommended solicitors to handle the conveyancing process on their behalf. This is included within the solicitors quote prior to instruction and is not added to the solicitor’s fees.

Sinclair Estate Agents Limited have a referral arrangement with our recommended law firms, and we receive a referral fee of typically £250 from them for referring the transaction. This fee is paid to Sinclair Estate Agents by the conveyancing firm and not by you, the client.

Surveys

We recommend sellers and/or potential buyers use the services of Shire Surveyors. Should you decide to use the services of Shire Surveyors you should know that the staff member who referred the business would expect to receive a £20.00 gift voucher for recommending them to you.

You are not under any obligation to use the services of any of the recommended providers, though should you accept our recommendation the provider is expected to pay us the corresponding Referral Fee. The Referral Fee is separate from your obligation to pay our own fees or commission.
