How much saving do I really make from not having to pay an Estate Agent?
• In general Estate Agent fees vary between 1% and 3% of the selling price. If your house is £250,000 at 2% you are going to pay £5,000 plus 17.5% which is £5,375. An Agent will side closer to the lower percentage if he knows he has got exclusivity to sell your property. The downside to exclusivity is of course that you have less exposure to potential buyers.
