Terms & Payment Policy

Please read these Terms & Payment Policy carefully before using the Meridian Estates website or engaging our services. By using the site or booking a viewing or consultation, you agree to the terms set out below.

1. General

This website and its content belong to Meridian Estates. Site content, including listing information, is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute a binding offer or guarantee of availability unless confirmed directly by an agent.

2. Intellectual Property

All text, images, the logo, and other site materials are the intellectual property of Meridian Estates or are used under appropriate license. Copying, reproducing, or distributing these materials without written consent is prohibited.

3. Use of the Site

You agree not to use this site in any way that violates applicable law, infringes the rights of third parties, or could damage the operation of the site or its users.

4. Commission & Payment Terms

The following terms apply to engagements booked through this site, unless a separate signed listing or buyer representation agreement states otherwise:

• Listing commissions are agreed in writing before a property is marketed and are paid at closing from sale proceeds, per the signed listing agreement;
• Buyer representation compensation, where applicable, is disclosed in writing before any exclusive representation agreement is signed;
• Rental placement fees are due upon lease execution, as specified in the applicable rental agreement;
• Consultation calls and property tours booked through this site are free of charge and carry no obligation;
• Cancellations of scheduled showings should be made at least 2 hours in advance as a courtesy to our agents and other clients;

Meridian Estates takes reasonable care to keep listings accurate but does not guarantee completeness and is not liable for decisions made solely on general website content without direct confirmation from an agent.

The site may contain links to third-party resources (such as Google Maps). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such third-party sites.

7. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms & Payment Policy at any time. The current version is always published on this page.
