Reservation Agreements are changing the Kent buying and selling process...

At Match Estates, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional service and innovative solutions for buyers and sellers in Folkestone. We’re the only local estate agency offering Gazeal Reservation Agreements—a service designed to transform the home-buying process by ensuring greater security, transparency, and peace of mind. Here's why these agreements are beneficial for everyone involved:

1. Reducing the Risk of Sale Collapses

Did you know that over 30% of agreed house sales in the UK fail before completion? With Gazeal Reservation Agreements, buyers and sellers commit to the sale at the point of offer, creating a legally binding agreement. This prevents common pitfalls like gazumping (where another buyer offers more money) and gazundering (where the buyer tries to lower the price at the last minute). The agreements safeguard both parties, offering a safety net that significantly reduces the likelihood of transactions falling through.

2. Financial Security

In the event of a withdrawal without a valid reason, the innocent party is entitled to compensation (typically starting at £2,000). This meaningful commitment allows both parties to proceed with the sale, creating an atmosphere of trust and reliability.

3. Faster, More Transparent Transactions

Here at Match Estates, we use Gazeals' innovative system to include a Buyer Information Pack, which compiles critical property details upfront - like title documents, fixtures, and planning permissions - allowing buyers to make informed decisions before submitting an offer. This streamlined approach often cuts weeks off the typical property transaction timeline and ensures smoother communication between all parties.

It also allows us to provide a single place for our sellers to upload all their documents, and a transparent approach to our buyers who can see information upfront, whenever they need!

4. Peace of Mind for Buyers and Sellers

These agreements guarantee that neither party can walk away without consequences, providing unparalleled confidence during a typically stressful process. For buyers, it ensures their chosen property is reserved. For sellers, it confirms that only serious, financially committed buyers are in the running.
