2/ GDPR:

What happens & why:

National Property Buyers need to gather and use certain information about individuals we work with or contact us.

These can include customers, suppliers, business contacts and other people the company has a relationship with or may need to contact.

The company recognises The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) adopted 27th April 2016, the two-year transition period. 

Why the policy exists

Through the implementation of our Data Protection Policy by the National Property Buyers. 

• Complies with data protection law and follows best practice
• Protects the rights of customers, any individual that has dealings with the company and our staff
• Is open about how it stores and processes individuals data
• Protects itself from the risks of a data breach

Data Protection Law

The Data Protection Act 1998 and The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) describe how organisations, such as the National Property Buyers, must collect, handle and store personal information.

The rules apply regardless of how the data is stored i.e. electronically, on paper or in any other way.

To comply with the law, personal information must be collected and used fairly, stored safely and not disclosed unlawfully.

National Property Buyers shall comply with the Data Protection Principles (the Principles) to ensure all data is;

• Fairly and lawfully processed
• Processed for a specific and lawful purpose
• Adequate, relevant and not excessive
• Accurate and up to date
• Not held for longer than necessary
• Processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects
• Protected in appropriate ways
• Not transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) unless that country also ensures an adequate level of data protection  

For further information in more detail read our GDPR & other policies to ensure you understand what it is we are doing with your details.

3/ Cooling-off Period:

14-day cooling-off period:

You can withdraw the sale of your property at any time by emailing our team at info@nationalpropertybuyers.com as long as it is within the 14-day cooling-off period. The 14-day cooling-off period notice must be read in conjunction with the T&Cs.  This is your responsibility.

If the service you have signed up for has not started then you will not be charged.

If you have agreed to work starting inside the 14-day cooling-off period then you accept responsibility to cover all costs incurred to the point of your cancellation in writing to the above email address.

We cannot move forward with any sales process unless you have an up-to-date EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) /EIC (Electrical Installation Certificate).

If you have purchased any services such as EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) or EIC (Electrical Installation Certificate) which have been completed,  there will be NO REFUND.  However, you will be given a copy of the relevant certificates for your records and use going forward.

There will be an administration cancellation fee of £100 if we have started any advertising or promotion, otherwise, NO charge will be made.

4/ AML SERVICES –

TAKING FUNDS / MAKING PAYMENTS –

While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of descriptions and content, we should make you aware of the following guidance or limitations.

·       (1) MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS Intending purchasers will be asked to produce identification documentation at a later stage and we would ask for your cooperation so that there will be no delay in agreeing to the sale.

·       (2) These particulars do not constitute part or all of an offer or contract.

·       (3) The measurements indicated are supplied for guidance only and as such must be considered incorrect.

·       (4) Potential buyers are advised to recheck the measurements before committing to any expense.

·       (5) Connells has not tested any apparatus, equipment, fixtures, fittings or services and it is in the buyer’s interests to check the working condition of any appliances.

·       (6) Connells has not sought to verify the legal title of the property and the buyers must obtain verification from their solicitor.

5/ Individual(s) Compliance Form:

We have to complete this form to satisfy AML regulations.

We are required to collect proof of ID, and proof of address, for everyone we work with. 

All fields are required to be completed so we may ask for extra proof. 

We also complete a Land Registry Certificate form.

PLEASE NOTE: If you live in Scotland we cannot provide any Land Registry Certificate – if you don’t have your Land Certificate and you live in Scotland, please come back to finish this form when you have obtained it from your solicitor.

Our email/s and any attachments to it are intended solely for the individual to whom it is addressed. It may contain sensitive or confidential material and should be handled accordingly. However, it is recognised that, as an intended recipient of our email, you may wish to share it with those who have a legitimate interest in the contents.

Whilst we take reasonable steps to identify software viruses, any attachments to our email/s may contain viruses that our anti-virus software has failed to identify. No liability can be accepted, and you should therefore carry out your own anti-virus checks before opening any documents.

Please note: Information contained in our email/s may be subject to public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 or the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.

6/ Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): 

Dear client, a question we get asked all the time:  

Do I need an up-to-date  Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to sell my property?

ANSWER: Yes, It is required by law for us to have a copy of your up-to-date EPC to sell your property.

We will need these for our records, so if you could supply a copy asap then we will be able to promote your property. 

We need to show this as part of your audit trial against your property details to sell your home by law.  

When you join our system we are in a position where we can do an automated check on your property with the EPC governing body. 

If the check comes back and shows us that you have a valid EPC then we can move on to the next stage.  

If the check shows that you are not holding a valid EPC, then we can help!

We will offer you an automated link to purchase an EPC immediately which will last for 10 years at a cost across the UK & Wales:    

When you have made your purchase of an EPC you will be required to inform us of your best availability of either AM or PM appointment time.

You will be contacted by one of our expert professional EPC consultants who will book an appointment and visit your home and conduct the required checks. If you pass, they will give you your new certificate for your records.  

Once the consultants have processed your application and registered your certificate into the Governing body system then we will be in a position to advertise your property on our website and our partner websites. 

Do not cancel your appointment without checking out our cancellation policy because if we are unable to show a current EPC on our website against your property details then your advert will have to go on hold until you have purchased and completed an EPC by law.

Do not waste any time & take advantage of our direct link with the governing body. 

7/ ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

When you use any National Property Buyers service or professional services which have been sent by e-mail to us, you are communicating with us electronically. In return, we will also communicate with you electronically in a variety of ways, such as by e-mail, or maybe even by text, or possibly by posting e-mail messages or communications on the website. 

For contractual purposes, we must make you aware that you are agreeing to all contracts, agreements, or any notices posted, plus any disclosures and other communications that we provide you electronically. We like to point out that what National Property Buyers supply satisfies any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Unless they are mandatory applicable by-laws that specifically require a different form of communication.

8/ Conditions of Sale

These Conditions of Sale will all govern the sale of any professional products or services offered by National Property Buyers to you. 

You will see that National Property Buyers offer a wide range of professional services, which we will also be looking to update & improve plus sometimes these may come with additional terms which we will have to apply. 

When you use any National Property Buyers’ professional service you will also be subject to the terms, guidelines and conditions applicable to that professional service company that supply their service.
