Cairnmor Family Property Purchase Consultancy

From family decision through to completion

A premium, defined engagement for families making a significant intergenerational property commitment who want continuing support as an intended owner-occupied UK home purchase moves from decision into implementation.

The decision framework

The Cairnmor Six Decisions — Objective, Commitment, Structure, Safeguards, Purchase Parameters and Implementation — are the common Cairnmor decision methodology. In the Purchase Consultancy they remain the decision spine throughout a separate seven-stage delivery process from family brief to completion and handover.

What is included

• establishing or confirming the family mandate, financial boundaries and purchase parameters

• mapping specialist mortgage, legal, tax and other professional questions

• maintaining oversight of the implementation plan and supporting key family decisions as circumstances develop

• defined coordination of relevant professional workstreams

• up to three substantive Cairnmor-assisted assessment discussions for serious properties identified by the family

• transaction readiness, implementation support, completion and handover

Property assessment, not property finding

Cairnmor may help the family apply its agreed assessment framework to a limited number of serious properties the family has identified. Cairnmor does not search for or source properties, introduce sellers, arrange viewings, negotiate price, make offers or act as an estate agent, property finder or buying agent.

Client and professional boundaries

Cairnmor normally acts for the family member(s) providing the financial support; other family members may participate but are not thereby separate Cairnmor clients. Cairnmor does not replace solicitors, authorised mortgage professionals, tax advisers, surveyors or other regulated specialists.

£12,000 including VAT

Payment is made in three instalments, all including VAT: £6,000 on instruction; £3,000 on continuation following the Stage 2 mutual-fit review; and £3,000 at substantive Stage 6 commencement (or the contractual timing trigger, if earlier).

For an eligible client who has completed the £1,800 (including VAT) Family Property Decision Review, a £1,200 credit (including VAT) is applied against the first instalment, reducing it to £4,800 including VAT.

The Decision Review and Purchase Consultancy remain separate services.

Scope boundary

One family; one intended owner-occupied UK purchase; one active transaction at a time; standard duration up to nine months. If a purchase falls through, a limited reset may be included. Full support for a replacement transaction is not automatically included and may require a separately agreed fixed fee.
