We made our estate agents work for their money when my wife and I sold our flats in East London.
Mine did a lot of shaking the buyer's solicitor and making him actually do some conveyancing, and fielded a lot of dumb questions. He also persuaded me not to tell the buyer to fucking do one a few times. Plus he handled all the viewings so I didn't even need to live there, and, with my cat, could be at my wife's place, which had already sold. No buyer wants to see a cat litter tray. My wife's agents did a sealed bids auction when her place proved amazingly popular. Well worth their 1.5%.
My french agent is on 9%, for which she does the actual conveyancing and draws up the contracts for the notaire.
