- 3.
Your listing needs updated Part C disclosures from this month
Prepared each week by James and the Partnerships Team
Why agents recommend Pine
Vendors who arrive with a sale-ready pack complete faster.
Cut offer-to-exchange in half
Vendors who arrive with a sale-ready pack typically exchange in half the time. Their legal file is done before a buyer is even found.
Fewer fall-throughs
Your vendor surfaces issues before listing — not after the survey. No nasty surprises that kill deals at the last minute.
TA6, TA10, and TA7 arrive completed
The solicitor gets a complete, accurate file on day one — not a blank form three weeks after instruction.
Vendor keeps their own solicitor
Pine doesn't replace the solicitor or interfere with your referral arrangements. It just makes sure the solicitor gets a better file, faster.
Preparation carries forward
If a sale falls through, your vendor can relist without starting over. Their sale-ready pack is already done.
No cost to you or your vendor
Pine is free during pre-launch. There's nothing to sell, no commission to split — just a better-prepared vendor.
“Had a vendor come in with their whole Pine pack done before we'd even taken photos. Solicitor had the draft contract out within a week. Normally takes three or four weeks minimum. Game changer.

Three things to tell your vendors this week
Every Monday, 300+ agents open Under Offer to find the three things worth raising with vendors that week.
Market shifts, conveyancing alerts, preparation advice — ready to use before your first call.
“Honestly I just skim it with my coffee on Monday and by 11am I've dropped at least two of the points into vendor calls. They think I'm some kind of conveyancing expert now. Absolutely love it.

What changes when you recommend Pine to your vendors
| Stage | Vendor with sale-ready pack | Unprepared vendor |
|---|---|---|
| Before listing | Vendor arrives with TA6, TA10, and certificates gathered. Legal file ready to send to solicitor. | Nothing prepared. Vendor waits for solicitor to ask for documents one by one. |
| Offer accepted | Solicitor instructed with a complete file. Draft contract pack sent within days. | Solicitor instructed with no documents. Weeks spent chasing forms and certificates. |
| Buyer enquiries | Most questions already answered in the vendor's sale-ready pack. One round of enquiries. | Multiple rounds of enquiries as issues are discovered. Each round adds 1–2 weeks. |
| Searches | No surprises — vendor has already reviewed their own property searches and resolved issues. | Search results reveal problems the vendor didn't know about. Delays while issues are investigated. |
| Exchange timeline | Exchange in 6–10 weeks from offer accepted. | Exchange in 12–20 weeks. Often longer if problems are found late. |
| Sale falls through | Relist immediately. Sale-ready pack is done. New buyer's solicitor gets the file on day one. | Start the entire process again from scratch. Another 4–6 weeks lost before a draft contract is sent. |
