  • Yep. Just had traditional agents Acorn around and they want to charge me £5,000 as a flat fee. Both agents said the flat is around £290,000, which is a surprise.

    Not sure what to do.

  • Be careful of believing the hype of it being £30k more than you thought was sensible. You did your research and thought £260k was right, buyers will do the same.

    Find an agent that will charge something like 1 - 1.5%, one that impresses you sufficiently when you meet them to be happy to pay them that and put it on at £275k.

    Most areas will have one or two good firms amongst the dross, that fact you're undecided means you just haven't found them yet.

  • Flat fee is unusual?

    If they sell it for 290 that's kinda 1.5% + vat if my math serves me correctly...it probably doesn't
