Acquest works closely with a team of experienced surveyors and valuers and can recommend the same, at the request of the client.

Acquest works closely with a team of lawyers, well versed in the law of real estate and property and can recommend a lawyer at the request of a client.

If it is the request of the owner of the property that Acquest holds custody of the keys, it could be arranged as so. An agreement should be signed between the owner and Acquest on this matter. The keys would be handed over to the new owner once the Deed of Transfer/ Tenancy Agreement/ Lease Agreement is executed. 

We could proceed to obtaining these documents provided a letter of authority from the owner of the property is submitted along with the duly signed applications for same. Acquest would coordinate with the local authorities, follow up with them and keep the client informed of the progress.

Acquest prepares legal documents for all types of transactions. Documents include Memorandum of Understanding, Lease Agreements, Exclusivity Agreements, Non-Disclosure Agreements and other legal documentation required to conclude a transaction. Acquest does not however, provide attestation services. For further details on this matter, please speak to our legal coordinator.

We at Acquest assist in the transaction by securing an offer with the signing of an MoU, facilitating Title Due Diligence by liaising with lawyers, banks, local authorities and all relevant parties and ensuring a seamless process from the point of confirmation through to the closing of the transaction. 

Your property will be listed on our website and depending on the segment it is categorised to, it will be promoted through our social media platforms as well. The website is advertised to a specific target audience and digital campaigns are executed for each of the segments we handle. The listed properties are shared with the pool of clients whose real estate needs have been handed by Acquest over a period of time and those who are interested would make an offer. 

Listing a property with Acquest on an exclusive basis would mean that Acquest is the only Agent marketing/promoting your property. Listing with us exclusively gives you one point of contact and therefore one point of responsibility. Having us as the only party involved assures you consistency of information about the property and by being the sole contact point for the property enables us to filer in all the offers that are made for the property and bring to you the best solution in line with your needs. We further provide the following services to clients that list with us exclusively:

We provide a broker valuation for the property that is listed with us. This is determined by the current market rate at which the properties around the area are being transacted at. Should the client require a valuation conducted by a certified valuer, we will coordinate it on behalf of the client.

The time taken to sell/ rent a property would depend on a number of factors, including the current market conditions and the economic state of the country. Although we cannot define an exact timeline as to when the property would be transacted, we assure you that we take the required steps to ensure the correct visibility is given to the property in line with the agreement we have with the seller/ landlord and thereafter, pursue qualified leads received.

A form requesting specific information regarding the property would be emailed to the Landlord/ Seller to be completed and sent back with an acknowledgement of the fees charged for the transaction. It would further require the Landlord/ Seller to indicate if they agree to Acquest advertising their property on their behalf.  

Once the acknowledgement is received, the Listings Executive will arrange for a representative from Acquest to visit the property and thereafter conduct a photoshoot of the premises. The property would be listed on the website under the relevant category.
