England, meet
how Scotland
sells homes.
Gazeal has introduced upfront seller surveys inspired by the Scottish model, so buyers know the condition before they offer.
Fix survey problems before they break the sale.
In Scotland, buyers understand the condition of the home before they offer, which means fewer surprises, fewer late renegotiations and stronger sales from the start.
No upfront cost
Your seller does not have to pay anything when the survey is booked. It is arranged at the start of the marketing, shared with buyers during the sale, and only paid for when the property actually completes. If the sale falls through there is no cost to your seller at all, so the biggest objection to ordering a survey early simply disappears, and you can offer better upfront information without asking your seller to spend a penny before they have sold their home.
Critical property information
Buyers often have to make offers before they know enough about the condition of the home, and that creates real risk later in the process when something unexpected turns up. Gazeal Surveys puts the key property information in front of buyers before they offer, so they can make a clearer, more confident decision from the start. That tends to mean fewer late surprises, fewer renegotiations and a stronger sale from the moment the offer is made.
Up to 98% sale success
Gazeal already helps agents reach around 95% sale success by securing commitment at the point of offer. Of the small number of sales that still fall apart, survey issues are one of the biggest causes. Gazeal Surveys fixes this earlier by giving buyers the information they need upfront, so commitment and transparency work together to give your seller the strongest possible chance of completing, with success rates reaching up to 98%.
Survey It. Reserve It.
Now It's as Good as Sold.
A survey gives the buyer confidence in the property before they offer. A Gazeal Reservation Agreement gives the seller confidence in the buyer once the offer is accepted. Put the two together and the sale becomes far more certain.
Survey with a Reservation Agreement
- Buyer is committed to the sale
- No gazundering or late price renegotiations
- Compensation guaranteed by Gazeal if the buyer pulls out unreasonably
Survey fee
Sellers do not pay survey fees if the buyer pulls out unreasonably, or if the sale ends for a fair reason by both parties under the terms of the agreement. The seller only pays on completion, or when they pull out of the sale unreasonably.
Survey without a Reservation Agreement
- Buyer may not be committed to the sale
- Gazundering and price renegotiations at any point
- No compensation if the sale falls through
Survey fee
Survey fee becomes payable after 6 months from instruction, and no protection against renegotiation on the back of the survey.
Here's how it works.
Order the survey
Submit the property details and request a survey using Gazeal — it takes a couple of minutes.
We invite the seller
Gazeal finds an accredited surveyor, contacts your seller and arranges a convenient visit. Once the report is ready, it comes back to you and your seller.
Share with buyers
Pass the report on to interested buyers so they can offer knowing the home's real condition. Fewer surprises later, fewer renegotiations, and a stronger sale from the start.
Show your home is sale ready, with zero financial risk.
An upfront survey shows the world your home is sale ready, and it puts none of your money at risk to do it. You pay nothing when the survey is carried out, because the fee only settles once the sale completes, and if the buyer walks away without good reason, you pay nothing at all. The real gain comes later. When buyers can see the condition of your home before they offer, they stop trying to chip the price with a late survey, and the report that usually derails a sale around week six holds no surprises. Your home reaches completion because the thing that breaks most sales has already been dealt with in the open.
See the condition before you spend a penny.
An upfront survey lets you see the true condition of a home before you spend a penny on it. The report is attached to the listing, so you read it before you offer rather than paying for a survey on a house you may never buy. That means you can offer with a clear head instead of crossed fingers, because an independent assessment is already in your hands. It is carried out by an accredited RPSA surveyor appointed independently of the seller and the agent, so the view you get is honest rather than the seller's own pick. With the condition known from the start, there is far less for solicitors and lenders to chase, and you reach the keys sooner.
Indemnified both sides
The Gazeal Survey is professionally accredited and indemnifies both the seller and the buyer, so neither party is left exposed by relying on the report. Both are covered by the surveyor's professional standing rather than by anyone else in the transaction.
