An exclusive agreement between the owner of the property and Livingstone Estates gives access to a potential buyer via a rental period which can be considered as a ‘trial’ to see if the property meets the expectations & requirements.
Conditions for this scheme are:
- A maximum rental period of 1 week*
- Trial can take place at any given time (subject to availability)
- The rental fee will be agreed between the owner & Livingstone Estates, dependant on:
- Characteristics of the property
- Season
- The property will become part of the Livingstone Estates Short Term Rental Portfolio
- Terms & Conditions applicable as per those documented within the Livingstone Estates Rental Portfolio, with the exception of time period (for details, please refer to the next page)
- The property remains available for viewing by other potential buyers, even if rented out under the "Try it before You Buy it!" scheme. Potential buyers participating in the scheme will be made aware of this condition prior to taking up occupancy of the property for their trial week.
Advantages of this scheme:
- The property will be tagged and listed in our sales & rentals portfolio, along with the corresponding purchase price of the property
- Greater exposure due to 2 Web pages under which the property is promoted through links between the pages:
- No long term commitment due to the minimum rental period
