## What a firm will ask you

- When do you need this? (As soon as possible / Within a month / In 1 to 3 months / Later than 3 months / Just getting prices for now)

## What happens after you send it

1. Your enquiry is checked for spam and its contact details are checked so a firm can reach you.
2. Worklanded chooses up to three block managing agents on The Property Ombudsman or the Property Redress Scheme, and in Scotland the Scottish Property Factor Register's register that cover the area. A firm sees the job and the area before it decides to take it.
3. As your details go to each firm, we email you its name, with a link that stops any more firms receiving them.
4. The firms contact you directly. You agree the price and the work with them; Worklanded takes no part of that.
