The Nitty Gritty (Harry Potter Edition)
As trusted members of our little wizarding community, we’ve had the good fortune of getting to know some of the finest professionals in the realm. Should we recommend one to you, you can rest assured that it will be done in good faith, with the hope that they’ll help make your property journey as smooth as a ride on the Hogwarts Express.

That said, a small number of the professionals we recommend — certainly not the majority — may, on occasion, provide us with a referral fee of up to £200. You are, of course, under absolutely no obligation to use any third party we recommend. The choice, much like the Sorting Hat, is entirely yours.

Should your offer on one of our properties be accepted and you successfully proceed with the purchase, there will be a £36 administration charge per person (including VAT). This non-refundable fee covers the completion of our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) identity checks — a little bit of magical due diligence to ensure everything is above board before the keys make their way to you.
