​The Equestrian Property Agency for East Anglia

Horse and House have one important thing in common with all our clients - we all love horses in every shape and size and to have our horses at home is the ultimate equestrian dream - we want to make that dream come true for you.

​

We love to talk to our purchasers to find their exact  requirements and priorities to enable matching them to the ideal property. 

​

The same of course also applies for vendors – proper marketing advice and experience is invaluable in achieving a sale and best price in such a specialist market.

​

We have years of experience in the property industry from working in the high end market in the Home Counties to property rentals and rural commercial property sales. 

 

Our contract is very straightforward and we work on a no sale/no fee basis  and the contract clearly explains what the commission fee is and any exclusive marketing terms that are agreed at the outset and there is no contractual obligation for any minimum term of marketing.  

​

We will:

1. Establish the buyer’s purchasing position and financial ability to purchase prior to a viewing.

2. Confirm all offers in writing.

3. Regularly check the progress of any transaction with other agents in the chain and report back to the client. 

4. Advise of potential problems/issues with a transaction and advise as to how  best to deal with them. 

5. Liaise with solicitors and brokers to ensure smooth passage of the transaction.

6. Continue to market with a view to obtaining back up interest until the transaction completes.

​

 Confusion can arise from mis-understanding agents jargon/terminology so for purposes of clarity see below:-

​

CLEAR GUIDANCE

 

We have a range of experts to assist you both in terms of the legal work (conveyancying), finance (business plans, cash flow forecasts etc).  It makes massive sense to use a professional who has experience of the industry - it will save you money and huge amounts of stress in the long run as they will be au fait with 

 idiosyncrasies in the socialist market.

 

Sometimes confusion can arise from the misunderstanding jargon/terminology so allow us to clarify:-

 

A CASH BUYER is exactly that – the buyer has cash funds available.

 

AN UNENCUMBERED BUYER means the buyer has nothing to sell but may require some borrowing.

 

SOLD, SUBJECT TO CONTRACT means the property is under offer but legally binding

contracts have not yet been exchanged.

 

EXCHANGE OF CONTRACTS means the transaction becomes legally binding.

 

COMPLETION means legal completion of the contract where money is transferred and keys are handed over .

 

SOLE AGENCY Where one agent is appointed to sell the property – this is usually cheaper than instructing multiple agents.

 

JOINT SOLE AGENCY this means two agents are instructed to market the property at an agreed commission rate.The fee is divided between them however they wish to do this.This works perhaps when a property is dual purpose – for example with kennels and equestrian so it might make sense to cover both markets with the appropriate specialist agents.

 

MULTIPLE AGENCY means several agents are instructed and the fee is paid only to the successful selling agent.

 

SOLE SELLING RIGHTS -this means an agent has the sole right to sell the property meaning that if you sell to a friend, relative or customer the appointed agent is still legally entitled to the commission fee. You should be very wary of signing a SOLE SELLING RIGHT contract.​
