Process Guidance

- **Shortlist** two or three firms from the list above that match your situation (**North Devon** is already filtered for you).
- **Read** profiles for fees, specialisms, and how they prefer to work (phone, video, face-to-face).
- **Book a first call** — use it to test clarity and responsiveness, not just the rate quote.
- **Agreement in Principle (AIP)** — when you are ready, your broker can run this so offers carry more weight with agents and vendors.
