Can I use PropertyHat at the same time as an estate agent ?
Yes. Many people are unaware that they can advertise their property with PropertyHat at the same time as using the services of an estate agent, without compromising their contract with the agent. The Office of Fair Trading state in their guide “Using an estate agent to sell your home.” “Sole agency: The estate agent you appoint is the only agent with the right to sell your property. As you are not an agent, if you find a buyer yourself you don’t have to to pay the estate agents commission”. PropertyHat is a publisher and not an estate agent, and by advertising your property with PropertyHat, you are inviting buyers to contact you directly. It is important to check the contract that you have with your agent. Because of the amounts of money involved it has been known for agents to be a little economical with the truth. If the agent specifies “sole selling rights” rather than “sole agency rights” then you would have to pay the commission even if you sold property yourself. WEALTH WARNING:
