First work out what you want your estate agent to do.
If you're happy to show buyers around there is no need for you to pay for the agent to conduct viewings. This can typically save you £300-£400.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) are mandatory, but they are valid for up to 10 years so if you've owned the property for less than 10 years then you might be able to use the same EPC that already exists.
As the saying goes, if it looks to be to be true, it probably is!
Some online estate agents offer a very cheap listing fee but then also want a completion fee upon selling your property.
This is how traditional high street estate agents operate.
Some online estate agents offer credit agreements that you enter into if you don't pay upfront, these can work out costing significantly more money.
If you are sure you are going to move, then you can save a lot of money by paying upfront to sell your home.
The sale price achieved percentage is a bit of a misleading statistic.
We've included it as it is often cited as evidence that one agent is better than another.
In reality, it is probably a better indicator of which agents regularly overvalue properties to win instructions.
Take this figure with a pince of salt as it isn't indicative of what you'll get for your property.
