The £500 Viewing Companion Package is a one-off buyer support service where HomeStartGuide helps you before a property decision. The support can include property viewing assistance, visible red flag awareness, practical questions to ask, negotiation preparation, and buyer risk guidance before you view, offer, bid, or commit.

02Do you attend property viewings in person?

Yes. HomeStartGuide can attend property viewings with you as a buyer companion. The aim is to help you stay calm, ask better questions, notice visible warning signs, and avoid pressure-led decisions during the viewing.

03Do you provide a formal building survey?

No. HomeStartGuide does not provide formal building surveys, structural reports, or RICS-level inspections. We help buyers understand visible red flags such as damp signs, poor maintenance, possible hidden cost indicators, and practical concerns. Formal surveys should be carried out by qualified surveyors.

04Can you help with negotiation?

Yes. HomeStartGuide can help buyers prepare for negotiation using ex-estate agent insight. This can include understanding pressure tactics, avoiding emotional overbidding, challenging inflated pricing, and preparing a sensible offer approach.

Yes. We can help auction buyers understand practical risks before bidding, including guide price traps, legal pack concerns, deposit risks, non-refundable commitment issues, and the importance of preparing documents before auction deadlines.

06What does AML preparation support mean?

AML preparation support means helping you understand and organise common proof of funds and source of funds documents before solicitor or agent checks. HomeStartGuide does not carry out regulated AML verification but can help you prepare for the process more clearly.

07Do you provide mortgage, financial, or legal advice?

No. HomeStartGuide provides non-regulated buyer representation, property viewing assistance, negotiation support, and AML pre-screening preparation. Regulated mortgage advice, financial advice, legal advice, and conveyancing should be handled by qualified third-party professionals.
