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
The survey is arranged at the start of marketing and shared with buyers during the sale, but the seller pays no money upfront. The fee is settled at completion or within six months, whichever comes first, and if the deal collapses through no fault of the seller, the survey costs nothing at all.*
*When using a Gazeal Reservation Agreement
Critical property information
Buyers 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. The Gazeal Survey 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%.
Professional Indemnity protects both seller and buyer.
The surveyor's indemnity covers both the buyer and the seller. The seller is protected on what they disclose, and the buyer can rely on the findings with confidence. Neither side carries the risk alone, so buyers trust the survey instead of commissioning their own, and sellers share information without fear of comeback. This gives agents fewer renegotiations, fewer late surprises, and a sale both sides are committed to from day one.
Survey It. Reserve It.
Now It's as Good as Sold.
A survey gives both parties confidence in the property, and the Gazeal Reservation Agreement gives both parties confidence in each other. Put the two together and the sale becomes far more certain.
Survey with a Reservation Agreement
- Both parties committed to the sale
- No gazundering or last-minute renegotiations
- Compensation guaranteed by Gazeal if either party pulls out unreasonably
Survey fee
Nothing upfront. Settled at completion. And if the sale falls through at no fault of the seller, there is no fee at all.
Survey without a Reservation Agreement
- Neither party committed to the sale
- Gazumping or gazundering at any point
- No compensation if the sale falls through
Survey fee
Nothing upfront. Settled at completion or within six months, whichever comes first; but the fee remains payable even if the sale falls through.
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.
When used with a Gazeal Reservation Agreement, the seller can order an upfront survey without paying on day one. The survey fee is settled at completion or within six months, whichever comes first. If the buyer pulls out unreasonably, or if either party withdraws for a valid reason under the agreement, the seller does not pay. The buyer gets the condition information before they offer, which means fewer late surprises, less renegotiation, and a sale that has a much better chance of completing.
See the condition before you make an offer.
An upfront survey gives the buyer key condition information before they make an offer. Instead of waiting weeks and then discovering a problem later, they can see the report at the start and offer with more confidence. The survey is carried out by an accredited RPSA surveyor, so the buyer gets a clearer view of the property before committing to the sale. With the condition known upfront, there are fewer surprises, less back and forth, and a much smoother route to completion.
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.
