What Is a Search Agent?

Simply put, a search agent looks for a property on your behalf. If you are looking to move – be it buying or renting – the search agent can do all the legwork for you. That’s finding suitable properties, arranging viewings and brokering the negotiations on your behalf saving you heaps of time and energy. If you really trust them, they can even attend viewings on your behalf. Maplewood often takes on this responsibility and reports back with videos or video calls, saving you further time travelling to multiple appointments.

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) - Update

Since 2008 EPCs have been a legal requirement for sales and lettings property transactions and all will need to be renewed on their expiry (after 10 years). In April 2018 these requirements were updated to enforce a minimum energy performance rating of E for all new and renewed tenancies.

Soon these will apply to all existing tenancies and from April 2020 it will be against the law to rent a property without an EPC rated A to E inclusive. A few exemptions apply.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or to arrange for a Domestic Energy Assessor to produce a new certificate for your property. Search your EPC rating by clicking the button below.
