Estate-agency services — Professionals

Agents should classify the client's objective and property before proposing a mandate. Establish authority, conflicts, jurisdiction and required services, then distinguish agency work from specialist due diligence and regulated financial or legal advice.

Service scope

A professional property-agency category for identifying whether the client needs selling, buying, letting or another transaction service. The represented party, property type and jurisdiction define the mandate; agency does not automatically include legal, surveying or financial advice.

What is normally included

  • Property-agency task classification
  • Marketing or transaction coordination under instructions
  • Matching an appropriate agency service

What is not included

  • Guaranteed sale or rental
  • Structural survey or conveyancing by default
  • Conflicted representation assumed acceptable

Qualification checks

  • Confirm client and authority
  • Identify agency role
  • Establish property type
  • Explain fee triggers
  • Agree marketing and data permissions

Quote guidance

Define the fee basis, payment trigger, mandate period and included activities. Separate advertising extras, third-party reports and specialist services, without using a promised sale price or speed as the service guarantee.

Lead risks

  • Several agents may already be appointed
  • The contact may lack ownership authority
  • Different property types may require specialist experience
