Protect your Property Transaction

According to ongoing research by Quick Move Now, there is still a high proportion of property sales that fail to complete. The figures show that 2015 saw a massive 1 in 4 transactions fall through, 9% of which can be attributed to ‘Gazumping,’ where the seller pulls out after receiving a higher offer. 

PSG Client Services Ltd provide a choice of Home Buyers Protection Services to help provide additional peace of mind to your client in the event that their transaction fails to complete (subject to the policy terms). With a choice of policies available, you can now offer a service that not only protects your clients’ interests but safeguards your fees if the sale falls through.

From just £56 including IPT, you can add Home Buyers Protection Insurance from PSG to your instructions and offer your clients a service that only protects their interests but also safeguards your fees in the event of a failed transaction*.

  • Conveyancing Fees (including fees for Local Authority Searches)
