Questions people in your situation ask

What if the freeholder is missing or uncooperative?

That's a common situation. The buyer uses a statutory process or buys subject to the freeholder's behaviour.

What about the ground rent review?

Most buyers will take the property subject to the existing ground rent. The discount is in the price, not the paperwork.

Can I sell if I'm in a service charge dispute?

Yes. The buyer takes on the dispute post-completion. Disclose it; the price adjusts; the sale completes.

Seller Acknowledgement Agreement

PARTIES: This Agreement is between the Seller ("you") and Rapideal Marketplace Ltd ("Rapideal").

1. RAPIDEAL'S ROLE: Rapideal operates a property marketplace. We introduce buyers to sellers. We are not your solicitor, conveyancer, financial adviser, or valuer. We do not guarantee a transaction will complete.

2. YOUR PRICE: The asking price is set by you. Rapideal provides an indicative valuation estimate, but the asking price is yours to determine. You are not obligated to accept any offer.

3. SELLER FEES — NO SUCCESS FEE: Listing your property on Rapideal is free. There is no success fee, no introduction fee, and no charge deducted from your sale proceeds. Sellers receive the full agreed price.

4. PREMIUM UPGRADE (OPTIONAL): You may upgrade to the Premium tier (£149 + VAT one-time) for priority placement, professional photography, conveyancing referral, valuation referral, a live deal dashboard, and price-drop protection alerts. This is optional — the free tier gives you full access to the buyer network.

5. PRICE-DROP PROTECTION: If any buyer's offer falls more than 5% from their initial expression of interest to their instruction-stage offer, this is flagged in your deal dashboard. You are under no obligation to accept a reduced offer.
