Estate Agent Selling Fees

Other standard estate agency fees range from 0.75% to 3% of the final sale price. The Land Registry reported the average house sale price in the UK as £224,144 in March of this year, so with an average estate agency fee of 1% in 2017, according to a survey by Property Academy, the average price you would expect to pay your average estate agent, excluding VAT is: £2,689.79.

We’ve attached a breakdown of how much you would expect to pay on average to other estate agents, depending on your final selling price of your property.

What questions should I ask an estate agent before instructing them?

When choosing an estate agent to sell your house, you should be asking the following questions:

• What do you get for your estate agency fee?
• Is VAT included in that fee?
• Are there any additional costs?
• Where will my house be marketed?
• What type of contract do the agents provide?
• Is there a tie-in period?

High-street agent Vs Online agent fees

Selling your house with an online estate agent is cheaper than with a high street estate agent, as most online agencies use fixed selling fees, rather than a percentage of the agreed sale price.

As Coppenwall do not have an office locally, we are classed as an online agent, and we offer the same services as any high-street agents. We can arrange meetings, we are completely customer focused, and because we do not have the expense of renting a building, we can offer reduced agency fees. We are estate agents based in Rossendale that provide a professional home sale service with reduced fees.
