The Nitty Gritty (Ghostbusters Edition) As fully signed-up members of the local neighbourhood (proton packs ready), we’ve spent plenty of time tracking down the best professionals for the job.
So if we recommend someone to you, it’s in good faith - because when things get tricky, you want the right team on the call list. And speaking of call lists… who you gonna call?
That part’s totally up to you.
While a small number of the parties we recommend (and definitely not the whole Ghostbusters crew) may occasionally pay us a referral fee of up to £200, there’s no obligation to use anyone we suggest.
No pressure. No paranormal coercion. Once you’ve had an offer accepted on one of our properties and are ready to seal the deal, there’s an administration charge of £36 per person (inc.
VAT, non-refundable). This covers our Anti-Money Laundering identity checks - the essential kit that keeps everything compliant, contained, and free from unwanted surprises.
