Disclaimer

1. General Information Only

The information on the HomeStartGuide website is provided for general information, buyer awareness, and practical education only. It should not be treated as legal, financial, mortgage, surveying, structural, tax, or regulated professional advice.

2. Our Service Position

HomeStartGuide provides non-regulated buyer representation, property viewing assistance, negotiation support, auction buyer guidance, and AML pre-screening preparation.

Our aim is to help buyers approach property decisions with better preparation, clearer questions, and more practical awareness before they view, offer, bid, or commit.

3. No Formal Building Survey

HomeStartGuide does not provide formal building surveys, structural reports, RICS-level inspections, valuation reports, or professional defect diagnosis.

We may help buyers notice visible red flags such as damp signs, poor maintenance, possible hidden cost indicators, or practical viewing concerns. Formal property surveys should be carried out by qualified surveyors.

4. No Regulated Mortgage Or Financial Advice

HomeStartGuide does not provide regulated mortgage advice, financial advice, investment advice, or credit advice. Any mortgage, finance, lending, or affordability decision should be discussed with qualified and authorised professionals.

5. No Legal Or Conveyancing Advice

HomeStartGuide does not provide legal advice or conveyancing services. Property contracts, legal packs, title issues, auction conditions, completion deadlines, and conveyancing matters should be reviewed by qualified legal professionals.

6. AML Preparation Support

AML preparation support means helping buyers understand and organise common proof of funds or source of funds documents before solicitor, agent, or platform checks.

HomeStartGuide does not carry out regulated AML verification, identity verification, compliance approval, or legal source of funds assessment.

7. Buyer Responsibility

Buyers remain responsible for their own decisions, including whether to view, offer, bid, negotiate, proceed, withdraw, pay a deposit, instruct professionals, or complete a purchase.

You should always carry out your own checks and seek qualified professional advice before making legally or financially binding decisions.

8. Auction Risks

Auction purchases can involve serious risks, including non-refundable deposits, strict deadlines, legal pack concerns, guide price differences, and binding commitments. Buyers should take independent legal and professional advice before bidding.

9. Third-Party Services

HomeStartGuide may refer buyers to or interact with third-party services such as surveyors, solicitors, conveyancers, mortgage advisers, payment providers, booking platforms, or form processors. We are not responsible for third-party advice, services, terms, decisions, or outcomes.
