Estate Agents Commission


Recommended Posts

I sold a property in New Cross in March and paid 1.25% inc vat. Initially both agents I had round to do valuations quoted 1.5% plus vat. The market is very quiet and they?re keen to get new properties if you price it realistically. I suggest negotiating on whatever they offer. If it hasn?t sold, try another agent. Mine didn?t sell for 4 months, switched and it went in three weeks. Good luck.
Similar experience - very little (certainly family homes)coming to market so agents having to charge competitively most now offering 1 per cent but couple still sticking out for 1.25 or 1.5. It annoys me there are still agents out there adding VAT on top. Commission should (since 2016) be quoted with VAT inclusive. Now just to find a good one!

    • Childish behaviour by Trump, so quite appropriate, I would say.
    • There's a folk choir that meets upstairs at the Castle, can't remember what night  but the pub would be able to tell you.
    • The recommendations for tradespeople are in the  "reviews" section. I agree it's confusing.
    • Thanks for this. I appreciate your suggestion. However, I have walked to the Oxfam shop with a shopping trolley (quite light when it's empty)  load of books in the past. I have also taken a trolley load of books on the 37. Both times I came back on the 37 with an empty trolley. I'm 76 and not particularly fit. I also have a problem with both  my arms (golfers elbow. No I am not a golfer. Dragging weights makes the pain worse). To walk to Herne Hill from my home  involves dragging the trolley uphill for the first part of the walk (downhill after that). To get a trolley of books onto and off the bus is very difficult, because of its weight. I don't use my ancient car (1998) very often because it isn't ULEZ compliant, but I have come to the conclusion that this is the only way I can get another  load of books to the Oxfam shop. *Breaks down in a piteous fit of crying for her age and infirmity 🤣🤣🤣*
