These guys above just charge you £345 up front to sell your house no matter what the value.

I say; Fee up front means they won't work as hard to sell your house, it's like tipping a waiter before he/she serves your meal!

My wife says; They may be the Easy Jet of the estate agent world, give them a chance.

I say; Estate Agents are all bloody crooks who sit on their arse all day answering phones and drinking tea anyways. Trouble is I agree with her as well.

My wife says; Shut up Dave..............

Awwwwwwww Bugger

What would you all do???????????

Can you afford to lose the money? What is the trading status of the company? Are they Limited - you can check this out on the companies house website at www.companies-house.gov.uk (office hours)- who are the directors etc etc. How many properties have they got on their books- do a google search for estate agents and see where they come in the list.

Personally I wouldn't pay anything up front. If they want the business and say they can sell then they should put their money where the mouth is and wait until you have a buyer and have completed!

The old adage springs to mind - if it seems too good to be true then it probably is!

Another thing - I see that you and the company are based in Soton so go to the offices and see what it is - could just be an accommodation address!

They don't have a premises, this is why they are so cheap............there's something at the back of my head telling me not to pay the fee up front..

Myself and the wife tried to buy a converted chapel for restaurant use last year but got the stitched by Hsbc and the vendor was a no-mark, so that never happened! Wish I could help you out, what are you selling?
