Q: Who pays the one-percent introduction fee?

The seller, unless otherwise negotiated between buyer and seller.

Q: Could a seller ever land up paying the agent's commission and SHERLOCK-HOMES's introduction fee?

Ideally not! Should you have an agency involved, we recommend that you negotiate with them upfront that they bear the cost of SHERLOCK-HOMES's one-percent introduction fee by reducing their commission accordingly.

Q: When am I expected to pay my introductory fee?

Once you conclude your deal, i.e. after Offer to Purchase has been accepted.
