How to speed up your property sale…
Here at Leapfrog, we always strive to provide the very best service and information for all our clients, whether selling, renting or buying.
We work hard to keep one step ahead of the competition and our goal for home sellers and buyers alike, is to reduce the time it takes for a sale to proceed to a speedy completion. We provide our sellers and potential buyers with important property information from the onset, resulting in fewer sales falling through.
We are delighted to announce that we are currently one of a handful of agents in our area, now providing our clients with a ‘Buyers Information Pack’ containing Material Information about a property and all agents have a legal duty to provide this information from the onset.
What is a ‘Buyer Information Pack’
The Government and National Trading Standards require that more material information needs to be provided to potential buyers upfront.
Getting our ‘Buyer Information Pack’ ready right at the start of marketing, means we have the ability to share this with any potential purchasers as early as at the initial viewing stage. We can then provide this to a surveyor, respective solicitors involved in the sale and potentially reduce any delays with a sale.
What does a ‘Buyer Information Pack’ contain?
Our Buyer Information Pack is packed with information on the property that will help secure a serious and committed buyer. Here’s what it contains:

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.
In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:
avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.
min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
