The Harrisons Approach: Reservation Agreements

The Harrisons Approach: Reservation Agreements

If you’ve clicked this link, chances are your property sale may have recently collapsed. We know how upsetting, frustrating and costly that can be. You’re not alone, across the UK, 1 in 3 property sales fall through before reaching exchange.

At Harrisons Homes, we are committed to making a difference and changing the estate agency industry for the better. Our strapline says it all: changing the perception of estate agency.

One way we deliver on this is by using Reservation Agreements through a trusted third party partner.
These agreements get both buyer and seller to commit in writing, with a reservation fee that locks the deal in place.
The result? Less uncertainty, less stress, and a much higher chance of actually completing your move.

🏡 That’s hundreds of local moves secured since 2020

Renting a new home can be an exciting fresh start—but it’s important to know what you’re getting into. Whether you’re moving into your first rental or switching properties, understanding what to look for can save you stress, money, and future headaches. Here’s a detailed guide to what every tenant should check before signing on the dotted line.

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

Buying a home is one of life’s biggest decisions. Whether it’s your first purchase or your fifth, the process can feel daunting, with plenty of pitfalls to avoid. From mortgages and surveys to legal paperwork and negotiations, there’s a lot to take on board. By arming yourself with the right information and working with a knowledgeable local estate agent, you’ll be better placed to make smart decisions and find the home that truly fits your needs.

If your home has been on the market for over three months, you’ve probably heard the same advice from your agent: “We need to reduce the price.”
