How to Sell Guide Recommends Gazeal.

But many more have lost time and money because their Buyers;

❌ Said they were cash Buyers but really needed a mortgage. 

❌ Said they were chain free but really had a property to sell.

❌ Were less than open about their credit with their lender.

❌ Were unrealistic, or untruthful about their timescales for Exchange and Completion.

❌ Attempted to drop the price at the last minute using a survey that they weren't prepared to share.

None of this is illegal!

Sellers who lose a sale for any reason typically lose 6 months of time, and over £3.7K in fees, searches and expenses - but this does not take into account the frustration and heartache of not selling their house the first time out. 

Protect yourself by using Gazeal to secure your offer as recommended by Government in their 'How to Sell Guide'. 

Time, money and happiness lost

 

HM Gov started consulting on this problem in 2017...

Protect my Sale from Gazundering

Gazundering is when a buyer suddenly reduces their offer or tries to negotiate a lower price for a property just before the sale is completed. In simple words, it's like changing your mind and demanding a discount at the last moment, which can be frustrating and unfair for the seller but is totally legal.

The Telegraph
‘I gazundered my property seller and got £20,000 off the asking price’
News

The tough negotiating tactic that causes upset to sellers is on the rise. As the housing market wobbles and mortgage costs escalate, one in three home sellers has been gazundered, a study by House Buying Bureau, a home buyer, found. It discovered increasing evidence of buyers lowering offers, sometimes within days of contracts being exchanged.

Why do we buy and sell in a way that seems only to encourage gazumping, gazundering and panic?
News

Why do we buy and sell property in a way that seems only to encourage gazumping, gazundering and last-minute panics that leave people stranded and out of pocket? The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government puts the cost of sales falling through at £270m a year.

Why do we tolerate our Wild West housing market?
News

However, a week before exchanging — and after a gruelling six-month selling process — their buyer decided to drop their offer £30,000. There was no reason for it: no survey showing damp issues, or anything else warranting last-minute bargaining. This was pure gazundering. It’s like the Wild West out there.

Gazundering is back as purchasers reduce offers by thousands.

A survey of 2,000 people by campaign group the HomeOwners Alliance, BLP Insurance and Resi.co.uk architects found that some 45 per cent of people were concerned about this relatively recent phenomenon - up from 40 per cent last year.

Requesting sellers slash an agreed price just before exchange, without valid cause, might be immoral — but it is not illegal.
News

House buyers in London are ‘gazundering’ sellers by demanding thousands off an agreed sale price just before an exchange is about to take place.

According to property experts this latest wave of gazundering, also called ‘price chipping’, is gathering pace as the housing market slowly begins to respond to the UK’s wider economic problems.

Gazundering makes a comeback as house prices stall
News

Despite these cooling market conditions, there remains an air of stubbornness amongst the nation’s sellers who are yet to fully accept this change in market temperature and, as a result, almost a third are being gazundered with a lower offer having originally agreed a price with their buyer.

"I have now used Gazeal a number of times and can admit, that without them a sale would have fallen through without the reservation agreement and support of Gazeal"

"We wanted to make our bid stand out from the crowd, so we offered to enter into a Gazeal Reservation Agreement, which would therefore give the seller the assurance that we would go ahead with the purchase and us the assurance that they would go ahead with the sale - anyone who has bought a house before is likely to have experienced the frustration of the deal falling through, and we wanted to guarantee that no-one would be wasting their time or spending money unnecessarily with their solicitors."
