Understand the agreement.
Form B, also called Contract B, records the relationship between a property buyer and a real estate broker. Form F is the separate buyer–seller sale contract. The two documents have different purposes.
DLD’s Contract B workflow records buyer information, property requirements, financial details, contract duration and commission. The broker submits the contract for buyer approval.
Before you approve
Before approving a Form B, check the parties, the property requirements, the duration, the commission and the additional notes. Read the actual terms before accepting them.
- The parties and service: confirm who you are appointing and what they will do.
- The fee: check the amount or percentage, VAT treatment and when payment is due.
- The duration and other terms: understand the dates, any exclusivity and how changes or cancellation are handled.
- The next document: distinguish this brokerage arrangement from the buyer–seller terms in Form F.
A deposit cheque or an offer can create separate questions. This guide does not establish an automatic 10% cheque requirement, a guaranteed right to a refund, or the outcome of an individual withdrawal or dispute. Those questions require review of the actual documents and circumstances.
What are you asking the broker to do?
Form B concerns the buyer–broker appointment. Form F is the separate sale agreement.
- Service: Ask for the work in plain words. Identify the property search, introductions, negotiation and other services being offered. Ask what reporting and support are included.
- Duration: Locate the appointment terms. Read the actual duration, change/ending terms and any relevant conditions. This guide does not decide whether an existing appointment has ended.
- Fee: Make the quote comparable. Write down the fee, payer, VAT basis, payment trigger and included work. Keep conveyancing and official charges distinct.
Make the conveyancing choice explicit
If a conveyancing fee appears in a proposal or draft Form F, ask who will provide the service and what work it includes before agreeing. A broker’s commission, a conveyancer’s service fee and official charges are different items. You can ask to discuss Conveyance’s scope and fee before deciding.
Already signed Form B? Start with the record
First identify every document already signed: Form B, a reservation, Form F or another agreement. Form B is the buyer-broker agreement; cancellation and fee consequences require the actual terms. Ask for a free initial second opinion on your concern.
- Agreement: Keep the complete signed terms. Gather the agreement, quoted fee and subsequent agreed changes.
- Introduction: Record the property history. Note which property was introduced, by whom and when, and the relevant viewing or negotiation record.
- Proposal: Ask a specific question. Have the licensed team consider the existing position before proposing any change.

Move from the broker appointment to the actual buyer–seller transaction.
- Documents: Keep Form B and Form F distinct. Use the brokerage agreement and quote for the appointed services; use Form F and addenda for the sale terms.
- Check: Compare the transaction file. Gather the current draft, addenda, payment information, property references and relevant finance detail.
- Choice: Choose the next work. Brokerage and managed completion remain separate choices.
