Hello
Just wondered what everyone was paying in commission to their estate agents for sole agency. Mine are based in Essex.

Hi debsy
We are in Southend, Essex and we are paying 1.25%-1.5%.
That is sole agency but we are thinking of changing. Our property has been on the market for approx 8 weeks had an offer but they pulled out after 6 weeks because they didn't have the funds So we have only had 3 people look.
Some of the estate agents are a bit more expensive but they are tied in with others so you get more viewers, hopefully.
Cheers

1% surrey - normal price 1.5% but they are always ready to barter.
If you change go to a small independent - they HAVE to put lots of work in as this is their only advertisement. They do not have a fall back site of a large company.
The first 8 weeks are the important ones if it has not sold in that time change or change the price etc.

Our agent is charging 1.75%, in Crawley West Sussex, otherwise known as Gatwick Airport.
Contrary to my prior postings I am going on the market before I get my PR. Havent even had the skills submitted yet. We might have to live at the in-laws for a few months, but it will be nice knowing the money is in the bank and the interest is flowing in the right direction for once.

We've got a 1% for sole agency in Poole, Dorset but aren't too happy with progress so far. Considering either dropping our price or amending contract to dual agency, which will be around 2%.

You are proberly best to choose a smaller agent because you will get a better service, good luck

We are in Oxfordshire and agents really vary between 1% and 2.5%. Our last agent was 1.75%, but we wern't happy so we swapped on thursday. The new one is 2% but we said we will only pay that if they sell our house in four weeks, if not they get 1.5%. We have had 6 viewings over the weekend, so fingers crossed
