  • You can try to grade your fee to incentivise them. take the price you would like, 0.5% under this and 5% on everything over....or whatever works.

    Do this.

    Your best bet for the best price at the moment is to start with an attractive asking price and aim to exceed it. In fact, aim to smash it.

    Get three agents in, go with the one who sounds the most plausible and knowledgeable (they'll sound good to buyers too), put it on at the lowest of the valuations and put them on a heavily graded fee based on their success.

    If you're really brave putting them on 10% of anything over the asking price will really make them push for every last £1000 for you and paying them another £5k if they get you another £50k doesn't sting at all.

    It's brave, but it works.
