RESERVATION AGREEMENT MAY BE AVAILABLE
The Reservation Agreement is designed to provide buyers and sellers with greater security once a sale has been agreed. Facilitated through Gazeal, it confirms both parties’ commitment to the agreed terms and helps ensure the transaction progresses in a fair and transparent way. Before a property is removed from the market, buyers and sellers are offered the option to enter into a Reservation Agreement which formally reserves the property for an agreed period while the legal process takes place. Both parties pay a small reservation fee, demonstrating a genuine financial commitment to proceed with the sale. This helps protect against issues such as gazumping or gazundering and discourages either party from withdrawing or attempting to renegotiate the agreed price. If either party withdraws without a valid reason, the other may be entitled to compensation guaranteed by Gazeal, providing added reassurance and helping reduce the risk of fall-throughs

Full profileProperty listings
Founded in 2004 by Managing Director Stacey Davies-Bowler, Pinewood Properties has grown and developed to become a reputable, independent estate agent in the East Midlands. Being a landlord himself, even before establishing Pinewood Properties, Stacey combined his passion for property with his past career qualities as an engineer to start his own estate agency. In the beginning, Pinewood Properties specialised in only property management and investments, then in 2008 an expansion led to a sales department and in 2015 we began offering land and new homes services to our clients. As well as growing our property services, we have also expanded our branches to ensure local expertise is maintained. We have always put customers at the heart of what we do and we continually ensure we provide the highest standard of service for those looking to sell, buy, let or rent in Chesterfield, Mansfield, Clowne, Clay Cross or the surrounding areas.
