A sole agency is where you have instructed Rightmove exclusively to act as your agent. All negotiations for the sale of your property shall be carried out through us.

Under a Sole Agent agreement you, the Owner, shall agree to pay Rightmove a commission of 1.5% of the total Sales Price including furniture and fittings (+VAT if applicable) if at any time during the period of our sole agency the sale of the property is completed to a purchaser:

(a) Introduced by Rightmove or with whom Rightmove had negotiations about the property during that period; or
(b) Introduced by another agent or individual: or
(c) Who approached the Owner directly during that period.

A buyer we have introduced is anyone who has learned about the property through our activity either directly or through another person (for example - wife, husband, family member, partner, business partner or as an appointee of the buyer). It is possible for us to be the introducer even when there is another agent instructed. Following termination of our agreement, if you subsequently exchange contract, within 12 (twelve) months, with a buyer introduced by us, our fee will be payable in full. For any breach of this agreement by the Owner, the Owner will be liable to pay any lost sales commission to the Sales Agent as a result of the breach.

In the event that Rightmove introduces a buyer who pays a holding deposit, and subsequently does not proceed with the sale, hence forfeiting the deposit, the Owner agrees to pay to Rightmove a sales Commission equal to 15% of the deposit received.

Term of Sole Agency Agreement

The sole agency agreement will last for an initial period of 6 months from the date of commencement, and will continue after the initial period, but may then be ended by either party giving 14 days' notice in writing to the other. Notice of termination cannot be given before the end of the initial period.

Marketing Activity

Rightmove will actively market your property. This may include advertising in local newspapers, billboards, office displays, sales details, for sale boards, electronic advertising including internet media, leaflets and other written or verbal information given about the property.

We are able to more actively market your property under a sole agency agreement than a multiple agency agreement.
