Owning your own home

Nested question. Which of the three options did you go for?

I think they've changed what they offer slightly since I sold with them - what options do you get now?

When I sold then I'd found somewhere I wanted to buy but didn't have a buyer for mine yet. I was going to use their bridging loan style product to cover the gap between selling and buying. That then had the higher sales fee which I knew about.
As it turned out, my seller decided to stay in their house and my own sale completed in 7 weeks. I decided to break the chain and sell first, then buy separately. (this before Covid put a freeze on everything and held my purchase up by 4-5 months)

When it became fairly clear that I wouldn't need the bridging loan they asked if I'd like to lower the fees they charged (which also meant they could lend the money elsewhere that they'd previously earmarked for me)

So I ended up using them as a normal estate agent but originally signed up for the full bridging loan thing.
