A straightforward place to find out more about RM Jake’, how we work and what happens when you get in touch.
VIEW THE QUESTIONSWe know people often want to understand how something works before deciding whether to make an enquiry. The answers below cover some of the questions we expect people to ask. If your question is not answered here, you can still contact RM Jake’ directly.
Tell us what’s going on, what you’re trying to achieve and a little about the property. We’ll then look at your situation and explain whether we think we can help and what the next step could be.
Not at all. Any proposed route will be explained clearly so you can decide whether it is appropriate for your circumstances.
Possibly, but we’ll be honest with you. If you’re not in a hurry and getting the highest possible open-market price is your main priority, selling through a good estate agent may make more sense. We’d rather tell you that than try to persuade you that our approach is right when it isn’t.
Quite simply, we’re looking for properties where the price appears to be below what the property is actually worth in the market. But we don’t treat an asking price, auction guide price or online valuation as proof of value. We look at the available evidence and comparable properties before deciding whether the opportunity is worth presenting.
No — and we wouldn’t tell you otherwise. Property investment carries risk, and what happens to a property depends on things such as its condition, finance, costs, the market and your exit strategy. Our job is to help you identify the questions and information you need to consider. Your decision remains your decision.
No. We carry out our own initial assessment of the information available to us, but we are not your solicitor, surveyor, mortgage adviser or other professional adviser. Before you commit to buying, you should get the appropriate professional checks carried out yourself. We’ll help you identify the questions that need answering, but you make the final decision.
We’ll ask about things such as the areas you’re interested in, the type of property you want, your approximate budget, what you intend to use it for and anything else that is important to you. The more information you give us, the easier it is to see whether something might be a good match.
No. Registering your requirements is an expression of what you are looking for. It does not commit you to purchasing a property.
Yes. If you tell us what you’re looking for, we can contact you if something comes up that appears to match your requirements. We’ll use the information you give us to work out whether an opportunity is relevant to you. Separate marketing preferences are dealt with separately.
We’re looking for people and businesses who provide useful property-related services — for example builders and contractors, solicitors, mortgage and finance brokers, surveyors, structural engineers, architects and planning specialists. There may be others too, depending on what our customers need.
No. Joining the network does not guarantee that you’ll get work or referrals. If an opportunity comes up that suits what you do and what a customer needs, we can consider whether there is a reason to put you in touch.
We’ll check the information you give us and may look at things such as your business details, contact information, website and the service you provide. What we check will depend on the type of business.
If we offer advertising, we’ll explain how it works, what information we need and any terms before anything is published.
No. Having an advert on the website does not mean we are recommending or guaranteeing the business. We may check and approve adverts before they are published, and we may remove an advert if there is a reason to do so.
We’ll need some basic information about your business, such as your trading name, what you do, the areas you cover, your contact details and your website if you have one. We’ll tell you exactly what we need when you apply.
Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it and what rights you have over your information. You can read it before you decide to give us your details.
Yes. We keep marketing choices separate from a request you make to us. You can choose whether you want to receive marketing and which communication methods you’re happy to use.
Yes. You can change your mind at any time. Every marketing message will give you a straightforward way to unsubscribe, and you can stop receiving marketing from us whenever you choose.
The answers above describe RM Jake’s intended approach. Where a particular service, advertising arrangement or transaction has additional terms, those terms will be explained separately before you proceed.
We would rather answer a sensible question before someone takes the next step than leave them uncertain about what they are agreeing to.
“Clear information. Clear expectations. No unnecessary pressure.”
Whether you are selling, buying, investing, registering your requirements or interested in the professional network, start with the route that best describes what you want to do.
