We will endeavour to provide you with opportunities of a sound and reliable nature. We will speculate on the level of investment required, and the potential returns. This is based on our research and analysis, which may include the advice and guidance of qualified third parties (such as a RICS registered surveyors, accountants or solicitors). Due to the speculative nature of such opportunities the information we provide should be considered our 'opinion'.
Investors are advised to make their own judgement upon the investment being offered and to independently verify the Information and our speculative analysis. You are advised to carry out an independent legal and financial assessment of any opportunity offered to you, before making any commitment to participate.

Please remember that the price and value of any investment and income can go down as well as up. If you make an investment you may get back less than the amount you originally invested. If you are in doubt about any investment decision you should seek the advice of a suitably qualified person.

Use of Our Services, Suppliers and Agents
An opportunity or supplier introduced by us means any investment opportunity which may include, but is not limited to land, property, apartments, homes, entire developments, whether constructed or not at the time of introduction, both in the UK and abroad, or supplier of the same, including but not limited to developers, estate agents, or other intermediary agents, that have been researched, negotiated or procured by us, or in the case of suppliers are persons or companies with whom we have an established relationship (contractual or otherwise), and would not otherwise have been known to you.

Fees for participation in investment opportunities introduced to you by us, vary per opportunity, but will always be disclosed to you before you commit to participate in any such opportunity.
Unless, otherwise agreed in writing by us, all fees are payable within 28 days from your commitment to purchase a property, usually in the form of a Reservation Fee and Introducers Fee, which are quoted exclusive of VAT. These fees will usually be payable to the developer and Property Networks UK and are non-refundable, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing by us.

There will also be a mortgage arrangement fee payable to the mortgage broker arranging your mortgage finance. This fee will be clearly advised prior to proceeding with any mortgage funding and will become payable at the time of application for your mortgage.

The deposit to exchange/conclude is payable to the nominated solicitor who will hold the funds until such time as legal ownership of the property is transferred to you (usually on exchange of contracts/concluded missives Scotland). This system aims to protect both you, and us.
