Name of Your Property
1. Sale Method
Thank you for your kind instructions. We will offer the above
freehold property for sale by private treaty with sole selling rights
shared with the named joint sole agent .................................................
2. Guide Price
It was agreed that the property will be marketed quoting a guide
price of £XXX,XXX which we will advertise in both pounds sterling
and Euros.
3. Sales Brochures and Particulars
Under the terms of the Property Misdescriptions Act 1991 it is
essential that all information incorporated in the particulars of sale
is factually accurate and not a matter of opinion. Check our particulars
carefully and sign them off.
a) Produced in-house
The most important initial selling tool for your house is a high quality
colour photograph taken on a fine day. Please do not rush this. Alert
a professional architectural photographer and tell him at what time
of day the house looks its best. We will need one excellent original
photographic print or a 300dpi digital image, from which to produce
colour brochures—please, not a transparency, photocopy or printed
photograph from a newspaper or magazine.
b) Professionally printed
If your property is offered for sale at a guide price of over £500,000,
we strongly recommend producing an 8 page printed colour brochure with
floor plans and comprehensive details. Samples and prices for this work
are available on request. We can also offer an economical but attractive
brochure printed in colour on both sides of an A4 card. In each case
a professional architectural photographer will be commissioned, and
estimates of the cost can be given.
4. Marketing
a) Applicants
We email full details of your property to everyone on our database who
is looking for listed and unusual buildings in your area and price range.
This list is continually pruned and updated according to the reaction
to media coverage of properties available through Pavilions of Splendour.
It normally consists of up to two thousand names of people who have
contacted us within the past six months.
b) Editorial Coverage
We will send information about your property to the national media.
Pavilions of Splendour commands considerable attention from the property
press, as the properties we sell are inherently newsworthy. We are unable
fully to market properties through the media without high quality photographs,
as journalists will not include buildings without visual support.
c) Internet
We will scan at least three colour ‘blue sky’ photographs
supplied by you of your property and load a full description and particulars
of the property onto one or two pages on the architectural heritage
Web site, www.heritage.co.uk.
The site receives up to 4 million hits a week from interested buyers
all over the world and has been the UK’s foremost heritage property
site since its inception in 1994.
d) Central Register of Listed Buildings For Sale
We will ensure that basic details of your property are placed on the
Central Register of Listed Buildings For Sale, published weekly in full
on the internet. The register is a unique service providing, at a glance,
some of the best historic properties for sale in the country.
e)
Advertising
We recommend a degree of local advertising be undertaken by the joint
sole agent. We recommend that a lineage advertisement be booked into
the Sunday Times and the Daily Telegraph. In addition, if your property
is offered for sale at a guide price of over £500,000, we recommend
a colour advertisement in Country Life, still the most influential weekly
medium for property advertising. The costs of these advertisements can
be given on request.
5. Planning
It is essential that we have written confirmation of any planning application
or consent concerning the property prior to going to the market.
6.

available for properties in England from the Listed Buildings Information
Service on 020 7208 8221.

8. Solicitors
Please advise us of the name and address of your solicitors to whom the
monies from the sale should be paid. We will supply them with a copy of
this signed contract.
9. Fees and Expenses
Pavilions of Splendour's standard joint sole agency fee is 1.25% (plus
VAT) of the sale price, with a minimum fee to us of £1,000. Our
fee is due upon exchange of contracts and will be paid by your solicitor
out of the sale monies on completion if we introduce to you a ready willing
and able purchaser at the agreed guide price or above or if at any time
unconditional contracts for the sale of the property are exchanged with
a purchaser with whom we had negotiations about the property or with a
purchaser introduced by any other agent during the period of our joint
sole agency. You are responsible for negotiating the separate fee payable
to our joint sole agent and for settling that fee. Any marketing expenses
previously agreed with you and incurred by us, such as external brochure
production and advertising, are payable in advance in addition to any
fee. Interest will accrue under the Payments of Commercial Debts (Interest)
Act 1998 if monies due to us are not paid at the time of completion.
10. Terms of Business

writing to you as our client. This document constitutes those terms. Should
you wish to proceed along the terms as laid out herein would you please

letter is for marketing purposes only and does not constitute a valuation.

are always able to negotiate on your behalf with a potential purchaser
for your property.
