Pleased to hear that people are attempting to improve the process. We have, at Gazeal, been doing this for over 3 years with hundreds of agents, pioneering Reservation Agreements and providing Law Society backed seller information produced at the beginning of their journey.

From: Bryan Mansell 22 June 2023 08:49 AM

good luck to you all

From: Bryan Mansell 15 July 2022 10:33 AM

absolutely, if you would like to know more contact us via the website at Gazeal

From: Bryan Mansell 07 May 2022 08:31 AM

or just use a Gazeal Reservation Guarantee much easier and faster

From: Bryan Mansell 07 April 2022 09:09 AM

Firstly, Gazeal did not produce the headline, we were asked for some numbers on fall throughs. Secondly, anyone saying it's no worse than last year, is missing the point, why is it just accepted as part of the industry. Lastly those of you that are not seeing it in your business, congratulations fingers crossed everyone else follows suit.

From: Bryan Mansell 22 March 2022 09:57 AM

Great to finally see the industry acting on a long overdue requirement. We have supported this for 2 years and have many forward-thinking agents already doing this across the country.

From: Bryan Mansell 21 February 2022 11:54 AM

I fail to understand why Mr Blaney has had his opinion placed here as 'News'. This is a rant regarding an origin piece in the Daily Mail, where a buyer had made an offer, paid a 25k holding fee and agreeing to exchange in 4 months (they ended up taking 10). Whoever advised these people should be the one called a Shyster NOT agents. As for placing down a 25k fee and signing an exclusivity agreement oh dear!. next time speak to us at Gazeal.

From: Bryan Mansell 03 February 2022 10:35 AM

Peter, by your comment I assume then that you do not support the advice given by industry and government to sellers in the 'How to Sell Guide' that I referred to in my article? 'Sale Ready' you will of course be in the minority.

From: Bryan Mansell 20 January 2022 13:53 PM

Daniel, you make good points here, there are many conveyancers that send out the pack early if instructed by the seller at listing, however very few share this information with a buyer prior to a key decision stage, making an offer. This is another benefit of being prepared earlier.

From: Bryan Mansell 20 January 2022 13:51 PM

Like you Andy, I did exactly the same and provided this to my buyer before they made the decision to offer. Much easier all round.

From: Bryan Mansell 20 January 2022 13:49 PM

How many 'additional enquires' are raised just before exchange due to missing certificates or documents? This is supposed to be supportive to sellers, buyers, conveyancers and agents. Better advice can be given earlier to the public based on factual information that has been supplied. This benefits everyone.

From: Bryan Mansell 20 January 2022 13:47 PM

Andrew, you are right, hence why Gazeal do not have any charges for this for seller or agent.

From: Bryan Mansell 20 January 2022 13:45 PM

As did nearly 300 agents who are not Gazeal. Also Gazeal do not charge anyone for this, its a free service.

In very safe hands, good luck Peter

From: Bryan Mansell 03 December 2021 14:49 PM

Hi Richard, apologies that it took some time to respond, a very busy day. To make a slight correction to your point, I actually said in the interview that exchange is "obviously legally bound". This was said at 1:05 for your reference. Our reservation is a written commitment where both parties agree to compensate each other if they break the deal. GAzeal guarantee that if the deal is broken then we pay the compensation amount and pursue the repayment of this directly. We can enforce this is court which thankfully we have never had to.

From: Bryan Mansell 05 November 2021 16:18 PM

The public don't read these articles, so no crash, just, as you say, normalising and August!

From: Bryan Mansell 25 August 2021 09:15 AM

Simon I have heard that The Estas is supporting collaboration and let's hope that the Estas this year goes some way to bringing all the stakeholders together.

From: Bryan Mansell 07 July 2021 10:53 AM

Good luck trying to recover the unpaid £5 when people don't pay a cancellation fee.

From: Bryan Mansell 17 June 2021 10:26 AM

It is only fair that buyers are prepared to show they are serious and committed to moving, particularly if they are asking for more information from a seller.

From: Bryan Mansell 17 June 2021 10:20 AM

Why make this comment at all?

From: Bryan Mansell 25 May 2021 10:31 AM

totally agree, when agents realise that their website purpose is to either lead gen or sell products it will become a valuable asset to their business. A website's purpose, in my opinion, is to help generate revenue. Agents moving to a transactional website is key for the healthy future of their businesses.

From: Bryan Mansell 07 May 2021 09:22 AM

Many of those questions and required information are covered in the TA forms, so a full pack should include the 'actual' forms that are used in the transaction, the information can then be taken from there onto the portals.

From: Bryan Mansell 21 April 2021 09:32 AM

Contact Gazeal if you want a free pack they are offering the chance cards for free to add in to an existing Monopoly game. Although I have asked for mine and was told that I will get them in about a week

From: Bryan Mansell 01 April 2021 17:09 PM

I am looking forward to playing

From: Bryan Mansell 01 April 2021 17:08 PM

Sounds like what Gazeal are already doing? and have been for some time

From: Bryan Mansell 23 March 2021 08:54 AM

the BASPI is not going to become widely adopted because it is an additional long form which contains information to provide the TA 6. Just complete the TA6 and provide the documents to support your answers.

From: Bryan Mansell 23 March 2021 08:54 AM

Tricia, speak to Gazeal they stop this exact thing from happening

From: Bryan Mansell 23 March 2021 08:52 AM

You make a good point Mike, however, surely the information on the TA forms is critical and if they can be completed without duplication then this works for everyone.

From: Bryan Mansell 17 March 2021 17:31 PM

another method is the Gazeal system of a simple link that is sent out to any interested parties and secure and easily accessible. We already use this and it works a treat containing all the TA forms, sellers documents, title docs, and its FREE

From: Bryan Mansell 16 March 2021 11:19 AM

A massive 15 page 'spreadsheet' that is suggesting estate agents ask sellers 'has there been anyone murdered in your house? Once all this information is collected, it needs to be transferred onto a TA6/TA7 so why not just complete the TA6/7 upfront? More delay being created by 'working groups' totally detached from the front line of house moving. There is plenty of providers of TA forms which are the only forms used by the Law Society Transaction Protocol. I am all for seller disclosure and 'one point of truth' but 3 years to create a spreadsheet that itself cannot be used in a sale is classic!!

From: Bryan Mansell 16 March 2021 11:15 AM

FIRST IN THE COUNTRY - Try about 5th !! We have been using Gazeal for over a year and their packs include the actual documents solicitors can use to speed up the sale. And its Free

From: Bryan Mansell 01 March 2021 13:34 PM

I am sure many buyers would not want to simply pay a fee without a clear understanding of the benefits. Be interesting if your two buyers still expect the seller to remove their property from the market for these buyers and show commitment when buyers continue to view and look at new and reduced properties on the portals. Also, I thought that estate agents worked for the seller??

From: Bryan Mansell 15 February 2021 10:11 AM

Those with searches back and mortgage offers issued

From: Bryan Mansell 15 February 2021 10:09 AM

Phasing is the most sensible solution to ensure that huge levels of sales do not fall through. Post completion spending by homeowners ( furnishing, white goods, utilities ) will be an enormous shot in the arm for many businesses at a time when they need it most. It would further dent the economic recovery if these sales fell through.

From: Bryan Mansell 27 January 2021 09:15 AM

They don't say for Agents to do the whole job? that clearly isn't feasible

From: Bryan Mansell 26 January 2021 09:30 AM

Well said Mark 👏🏻👏🏻

From: Bryan Mansell 26 January 2021 09:29 AM

Did you cut and paste this from PIE 😂😂

From: Bryan Mansell 26 January 2021 09:28 AM

The Public has no idea who PropertyMark is, and more importantly, does not care when choosing an estate agent to market their home. We tried for years, across many branches, to use proeprtymark and arla as a kitemark but to no avail. It makes no difference to or agency and simply buries us in new ideas such as Sales Protocol kit, that no one can use!!

From: Bryan Mansell 15 January 2021 09:31 AM

The article says this regarding Sale Ready packs Mansell adds that ensuring properties are 'sale-ready' with up-front information such as protocol information forms, title documents, certificates and guarantees, can reduce the chance of any problems further down the line and protect agents' pipelines.

From: Bryan Mansell 17 December 2020 18:56 PM

Gazeals Reservation Agreement provides Free 'Sale Ready' TA documents for Sellers to complete online, sign and transfer to Agents and Solicitors when they list a house. We always recommend that a Reservation accompanies the Sale Ready Pack. The Sale Ready pack is not just the Law Society Protocol TA forms, buyers need to see additional information to help make an informed decision prior to making an offer.

From: Bryan Mansell 17 December 2020 18:55 PM

Who are you aiming this post at exactly? Gazeal take no referral fees from anyone and provide a Free service for Agents.

From: Bryan Mansell 17 December 2020 18:52 PM

Mine too he was 19 at the time

From: Bryan Mansell 15 December 2020 09:14 AM

Overworked...please!! give me strength. This comment from someone who has probably never been a conveyancer or worked with agents. Agents are the ones who get the stress from their clients, daily, due to the lack of communication from conveyancers. This is a broken profession and conveyancers are soon to be surplus to requirements as we move towards a more digital process. last week a buyer, who had driven a contract to a 'factory conveyancer' was told they couldn't accept documents unless they were physically from Royal Mail. Kids pretending to be lawyers to fool the public.

From: Bryan Mansell 15 December 2020 09:12 AM

This is so important the industry must wake up to these challenges and take greater care of the people involved. Its great that leaders like Sarah Edmundson are actually doing this work for free to help us agents.

From: Bryan Mansell 15 December 2020 08:57 AM

Well they have always been late to the party, interesting that as they say it took a 'global pandemic' to get things moving OMG.

From: Bryan Mansell 10 November 2020 17:54 PM

What specifically is 'game changing' about this?
