I was very pleased with Nested. Got 25 viewings in first fortnight and went from listing to completion in 7 weeks.

What fee did you pay with Nested if you don't mind me asking? Their website says 1.75% which is obviously pretty high compared to others but I know a lot are flexible.

Ta, have hit them up, with the code.

I can't comment as a vendor in the area, but I've just purchased through WJ Meade and they were really quite professional and communicative.

I paid 1.75 in the end.
I think they've tweaked their fees since I used them. I'd actually agreed higher than 1.75 (can't remember exactly what) as I was planning on using their advance (~= bridging loan) to buy before I sold - and they have a higher fee if they're earmarking a pot of money for you to use (that they could otherwise invest elsewhere).
But to be fair to them, when it became clear that I wouldn't need to use the advance then they offered to drop the fee (back to the 1.75). This was even after they'd listed and we'd found a buyer, and were a few days from exchange. So I think they could have probably kept quiet and made a couple of thousand more from me.

We're completing this week and have been using Dan Man at Peter Brown & Co in Barnet. For what has been a tricky process (buyer's solicitor changed twice, moving of goalposts, all the fun) he's been really solid.

Cheers. That's nearly double what my current estate agent is charging but on the other hand they haven't sold it yet.
I'm getting a bit bored of the whole thing so the cash advance thing looks tempting but it looks like they take a while to offer that at a high level (and they may not offer the full amount).
Or, does anyone want to buy my flat?

Thanks hive mind!

Just accepted an offer today - we had a few bids over asking, so went with the one we felt was best for us. Didn't quite manage £40k over asking but I'm happy with the number. Just need to find somewhere to move to now!

Any recommendations for a structural surveyor to survey a property in London's Famous London? Asking for a friend.

I used Currells, they cane across as genuine and decent.

Cheers, I'll pass it on.

Sounds as if your friend might be in for a bit of a caning.

Given the friend, he'd probably enjoy it.

Tory or stoner?

Hope it doesn't get structural. :)

Anybody have any experience contesting a section 20? With the council? Not asking for a friend, unfortunately

I was happy with this guy. Seemed a helpful bloke with reasonable fees (which clearly aren't wasted on his website).

I have, it was pretty successful too, but time is of the essence. Is the feedback period still open?
When I sold my flat in bow a few years back I used Jodie Ryan at Davey stone. Davey stone has now become Dexter's and she is still there. She's great - I'd use her again in a heartbeat.
