Price structure of service

The price is based on each service for each stage, calculated as a percentage of the maximum budget available. Each stage has a minimum fee, so that we can cover costs. You don't have to use all the stages, if you don't want and there are other permutations explained later.

Each service is based on a percentage of what you say is your maximum budget, but has a minimum fee, as sometimes you might want a really cheap property and costs still have to be covered.

The express service has a surcharge of 5% at stage 1.

Stage 1 payment is made when signing contract. 

Stage 2 payment is made when specification agreed at the end of stage 1. 

Stage 3 payment is made when instruction is given to negotiate to buy.

UK property searches for UK client, same structure as above but first two stages only and negotiating the purchase included in stage two instead of cost to cover air fares. Other services in stage 3 are not normally required for UK purchases.

Cancellation structure

When an order is placed, clients have 7 days to cancel with full refund, or can mail in certificate to cancel with Standard and H3 KPP service. With express service they have overnight and must call first then the following day if they wish to cancel. Clients can cancel stages 2 and 3 before we start work on them but not after.

Repeated stage 2

If the client requests that we repeat stage 2 and find an additional 3 properties for them to select from then the stage 2 fee is paid again, but there is no additional fee for changing the specification except if the budget is increased.

If unable to find 3 matches

Will discuss findings with client on return, and suggest changes to specification. We will then at our cost continue the search when next in the same area at no additional cost to clients to complete the search. With an express search this discussion takes place over the phone while search is in progress. All clients see what is going on on their own web site, set up for the purpose, and can talk about the search as it progresses. If its unlikely to be successful as in the case of property in the area being generally more expensive, then this would normally be found at stage one before progressing and the specification, area or budget changed.

Expanded search

If the client wishes to be given a larger number of matches then an additional 1% should be added for each additional property to be found. The 3 matches are those that meet the requirements and is not related to the number of actual properties viewed or visited. In many cases on the way to find the three selected many more will be viewed, photographed and measured and the client will be in touch so can influence the 3 to be studied in greater detail.

In some cases there will not be an additional charge, as in the case of a specification to find a number of properties within a total budget, in each case we would look to find 50% more than the specification.

Stage 3 failures

If for some reason stage 3 fails, ie sale falls though, they may select others from selections made, and continue at no additional cost. If they have a new stage 2 done they don’t have to pay for a further stage 3 in this case.

More than one property purchased

If client decides to buy more than one property and with original budget  - no additional cost. If outside the original budget then only the third stage payment due in addition, for the lowest cost extra property.

Hand holding trip

Client can also come out when KP has found property, if this has been arranged before. If they want KP to go with them later and hand hold, they make 3^rd stage payment plus cover additional costs of KP making this extra trip, i.e. hotel, car, airfare…plus a fee per day. This can also sometimes be combined with another trip Keith is making saving some of the costs.
