There are many reasons why property vendors wish to sell discretely and why some real estate buyers wish to buy property discretely, too. It is important to understand that discrete selling may not adversely affect the sale price but it may increase the time it takes to find a suitable buyer. Good real estate buyers appreciate the special opportunity of being alerted to off-market opportunities and are happy to pay the right price for your property.
Ernest-Brooks model lends itself to keeping in contact with buyers and those that appreciate an off market opportunity, as such we hold details of many individuals and organisations that love to be kept up to date with any 'off-market' opportunities such as a discreet sale.
Rules requiring non-residents in the UK to pay Capital Gains Tax also known as (CGT) on sales of property came into effect on 6 April 2015. Foreign investors have not had to pay CGT when selling property that is not their main residence. The UK Treasury and Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) first published draft legislation in December 2014.
The change in legislation affects non-resident individuals, trustees, partners and non-resident companies who sell or dispose of UK residential property.

Once a potential property buyer makes an offer, we will notify you straight away, whilst taking you through the terms of their offer. Before moving forward, we will make sure the buyer has the means to proceed with the purchase to enable a smooth buying process between both parties.
Once the offer is accepted, we can help you make your transaction as smooth as possible - including the preparation of a memorandum of sale and writing letters to confirm the agreed price.
Both legal teams must then work in order to settle any issues or answer any questions - whether it be related to the mortgage offer, evidence of title or even refer to fixtures and fittings.
This is the point at which the sale becomes legally-binding, so it’s important to have everything clarified.
When you and the buyer confirm various aspects of the deal, the exchange of contracts will occur. After you and the seller have exchanged contracts, the sale becomes legally-binding and it’s time to sign them. Once this is done, you must then transfer your deposit.
In order for your sale to be complete, the buyer must pay the remaining part of the agreed fee. Once you’ve received the funds and your solicitor confirms this, we will hand over the keys to the new owner.
