Think we were on 1.25% + VAT, I almost went with Purple bricks and sell managed but glad I didnt in the end as there was more to selling a flat than I expected (admin and management wise). They also act a filter (although they may also encourage unsuitable viewings) for viewers so you hopefully get less tyre kickers.
Who knows - maybe I made the wrong choice, but I don't regret it.

Estate agents, what value do they add when you're selling a property? The most important thing seems to be getting it on Rightmove/Zoopla which you can do for £100 or so.
Paying £6.5k or so for photos, descriptions, viewings seems a lot of money. However, if they manage to get a price higher than that then it's obviously worth it. Is there anything to show that going with an estate agent will get you more money?
Also, for those who've used estate agents, what kind of fees have you negotiated. 1% plus VAT is what's being offered at the moment but I'd like to push that down a bit.
