The internet has revolutionized the way in which property is marketed but, in spite of the undoubted advantages, many of the changes have been at the expense of the privacy and security of the vendor. For example, it is now frighteningly easy to obtain, not only floor plans of a house but also virtual tours – video displays showing the interior layout of your home, complete with a video inventory of your antiques, paintings and other valuables. It is not even uncommon to see details of a property's security system.
At the Bureau, we believe that the only people who need to see the inside of your home – or even to know its price – are people who are likely to be genuinely interested in buying it and, equally importantly, are in a position to buy. Furthermore, if you wish, we will not disclose your identity to potential purchasers unless or until it is necessary to do so.
We charge a standard fee, which is written into our contract and, apart from any individual advertising you may request, which we simply charge at cost, there are no other charges.
We have no "referral arrangements" with any HIP providers, mortgage companies or solicitors etc. and we have no "revenue streams" other than fees earned for selling properties.
