Anything funky I wouldn't consider them at all.
Definitely this. My parents used Purple Bricks to sell their 3 bed semi in Warwickshire, we're not using them to sell our place.
In those scenarios where the place sells itself, it's hard to see what possible value an EA can add.
Yeah if you're selling a place in a property hotspot in London and it's fairly standard I would definitely consider using them seeing as you just need to get it on the property portals then buyers will pretty much be begging for viewings.

Well it certainly was a couple of years ago. Our agent had 20 years of verifiable local knowledge, I would guess this is not the case in all places, but is certainly one of the things I would ask.
I also think it depends on the property type, ours was a very boring normal family home, sold after first viewing at exactly asking price. Anything funky I wouldn't consider them at all.
