Upfront Invoices

Within Street, for any sales property you can create upfront invoices and completion invoices. While one off invoices can also be created for both sales and lettings properties.

All three work in a similar way, allowing you to generate an invoice that uses the invoice settings and sequence as set up in your branch invoice settings.

However upfront invoices require an upfront fee to be present on the property's instruction. If the instruction does not have an upfront fee, the option to create an upfront invoice will not be present.

Note - Upfront invoices and completion invoices are not available for lettings properties.

Creating an Upfront Invoice

To create an upfront invoice, head to a sales property page and click actions (at the top right) > 'create upfront invoice'.

If you see a warning explaining an upfront invoice has already been generated for this property, you may want to review the invoices from info > invoices before proceeding.

First you need to choose the due date and then select who the invoice should be addressed to, either the solicitor or vendor.

On the right hand side you will see the sales instruction fees. The only fees that will apply here are the 'upfront fees'. If needed, you can click 'edit sales instruction' to make changes to the upfront fees, before generating the invoice.

Finally, you can choose whether to automatically send the invoice. If you leave the 'send invoice' toggle unchecked, the invoice will generate and you can manually send. If you tick to send, you will see an additional screen to choose who to send it to. You can also download the invoice before sending.

Once generated / sent, you can see the invoice from the property page by clicking info (at the top right) > invoices. As well as your main invoices table from the left side panel.
