Estate agents’ fees for selling a property can vary wildly. I’ve even seen agents advertising fees of £99.
There is no way in my opinion, any agent doing their job properly can charge £99 and make money. To do so they would have to cut more corners than a Grand Prix driver in several key areas just to break even or reduce their losses.
For a property to achieve its best price in the shortest possible period of time it needs to be well marketed. Online portals aren’t cheap, neither are professionally designed marketing materials. However, the area where the vendor can get really short-changed by a ‘cheap’ fee is the level of personal service they receive.
When an agency bases its business on charging rock bottom fees there’s no way they can attract the best level of staff because good people won’t work for low wages. The saying ‘if you pay peanuts you get monkeys’ springs to mind.
Remember selling your home is probably one of the single biggest transactions you will make in your life. You want to get the best possible price for your property. The difference between a quick sale and a good sale could be tens (even hundreds) of thousands of pounds.
