Fees and terms of business

Stated before you are committed to anything.

Introducing property to a buyer is estate agency work under the Estate Agents Act 1979 s.1. Section 18 requires the particulars below to be given before a client is committed, and this page is the standing version of them.

No fee is invoiced, requested or accepted until every one of these is complete. Setting a buy box is free and carries no obligation either way.

What CashGap is

CashGap is a property sourcing desk operating in the United Kingdom. It finds, screens and underwrites property, and introduces to an investor only what clears that investor’s stated buy box. It is operated by Cash Gap Ltd, company number 17207385, incorporated 8 May 2026 and registered in England and Wales.

What CashGap is not

When a fee becomes payable

The fee basis is agreed and confirmed in writing for each individual engagement before you are committed to anything. The written engagement will state, at minimum: the circumstances in which you become liable to pay, the amount of the fee or the method by which it is calculated, the point at which it falls due, and any other payment you may become liable for.

Until that written engagement exists and you have accepted it, no fee is payable by you for anything — including setting a buy box, conversations about it, and any property discussed.

The principles that will not change between engagements

Anti-money-laundering

Estate agency business is supervised for anti-money-laundering purposes. Before an introduction proceeds, customer due diligence is carried out on you and, where applicable, on the beneficial owners of any structure you buy through. That means identity and address verification and, where the circumstances require it, evidence of source of funds. Records are retained for five years. An introduction cannot proceed until that is complete.

Complaints and redress

Any complaint should be raised in the first instance by email to hello@cashgap.co.uk. It will be acknowledged in writing within three working days and answered within fifteen working days. Once membership of an approved redress scheme is in place, an unresolved complaint may be referred to that scheme, and the scheme’s details will be published on this page.

Risk

Property values and rents can fall as well as rise. Leverage magnifies losses as well as gains. Refinance is not guaranteed and a valuation at refinance may come in below the modelled figure. Planning consent is not guaranteed and this desk publishes the measured refusal rates for exactly that reason. Measured past outcomes are a description of what has already happened and do not predict what will happen to any property you buy. Your capital is at risk.

Governing law

These terms and any engagement made under them are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
