Bid & Verify
Buyers confirm their identity and show proof of funds before they can bid or make an offer.
The Gavel-Lock
When a deal is agreed, the buyer commits a deposit of 1% (at least £2,500) and the listing locks. Walk away without a valid reason and the deposit goes to the other side.
One live timeline
Exclusivity, conveyancing, signed contracts and completion are all tracked in one place.
