Introduced cases
We work with a number of leading estate agents and introducers throughout England and Wales. These companies support us in marketing our services, providing case tracking and updating platforms, collecting initial payments and (in purchase transactions) ordering searches and sales progression. This support is very valuable to APL; and, in return, we pay variable referrals fees to these companies, depending on the level of support they provide. The average fee is £300, which is paid by APL and is not an additional cost to you.
