3. TITLE RESERVATION/ MAKING AN OFFER (DEPOSITS)
This can be done, over the telephone, or by letter, or email. We will put the offer to the seller and if it is accepted we will let you know as quickly as possible, and then write to you requesting a 25% (twenty five percent) deposit and part payment of the agreed price. The deposit will be paid to Manorial Services Ltd as Agent to the Vendor and on receipt will form the Contract to sell and to buy.
The deposit of 25% is non-refundable of the purchase price of the Lordship or Barony title and is required at the time of reservation. The reservation fee is non-refundable however it may be transferred to reserve another title of equal or less value, this is at our discretion. If the revised title is less than the reserved title the amount paid will stand as the deposit for the new title. If the revised title is more than the reserved title then the customer will need to increase the deposit to 25% of the price of the revised title. Manorial Services Limited reserves the right to vary these conditions for individual circumstances. A reservation will last for one month unless extended by Manorial Services Limited and will be lost if agreement is not reached.

The buyer's premium is subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) at the prevailing rate. Each Lordship of the Manor, Barony, or Seignory is zero-rated for VAT, so VAT does not apply to the property acquired.
