They have three values that they suggest marketing for, which coincidentally match the Zoopla estimate range.....

Shoot for the moonDescriptions are theirs, along with clipart basketball images I won't bore you with. 1.5% inc VAT and the £500 discount from your referral code makes it tempting.

we went with the 1.5%, 'youve got a great shot' - and had quite a bit of interest

Ah yes. My estimate thing below
I put it on at 495, expecting that we'd get interest around 475.
I was on a really busy road so was pretty concerned that most people would just see the noise and decide immediately not to buy. So I'd pretty much decided that if I got something decent then I'd take it, rather than holding out for a stellar offer.
I had loads of viewings in the first couple of weeks. I think 20 in week 1 and another 15 in week 2. Almost everyone said the house was nice but it was just too noisy.
Toward the end of 2nd week I got two offers at the same time. One at 440 and one at 465.
Said to both that they weren't the only offer.
The 440 person didn't reply, the 465 person offered 476.5
I bit their hand off.

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.
