Secondly I would if I was you check with companies house to see how long the agency has been trading.
These basic checks could be the making or breaking of thousands or hundreds of thousands of pounds.
More ideas on how we can safeguard our investments from others are most welcome.

I can suggest going with agents who have secured exclusivity on their property which will mean that they will have a financial tie in to the project and will most likely be well checked out by the constructor.Generally agents only invest for exclusive rights on a well studied development which they see as representing value,any other approach could be hurtful to their most vital organ,"their pocket"
