FAIR AND TRANSPARENT€1,490RETAINER 3.5%SUCCESS FEE
One fee. Clearly accounted for.
A retainer of €1,490 becomes payable when the mandate begins. It covers the commencement and ongoing work involved in the vehicle search. If a purchase is completed, the amount already paid is deducted in full from the success fee of 3.5% of the purchase price. The retainer is therefore not charged in addition to the success fee.
The retainer activates the mandate and covers market analysis, sourcing and the selection of suitable vehicles.
Upon a successful transaction, the €1,490 retainer is credited in full against the 3.5% success fee.
