We are in the process of selling. We got 3 agents out. All valued it in a similar price bracket. Fees ranged considerably across the 3. We chose an agent that specialises more in selling country properties and managed to get them down from 1.5% plus vat to 0.5% plus vat. I think when they know they have competition you are in a better position to negotiate. The photographer took photos a couple of days after we agreed to go with them. We went on the market on the Thursday and sold on the Monday.

One of ours took pictures at the time of valuation. Then presented a mock up of the brochure with their sales garb the nxt day.
We definitely got at least 3 or 4 agents round. I went with who I clicked with the best (which was all a nonsense in the end, as we ended up extending instead 🙈😂 |

Houses seem to be selling quite fast here, there’s been two up on our road in the last month. Both were sold through the same agents and both sold within three days, so they’re the ones coming round this week to value ours. We’ll have to get some others in to value it though. We’ve got our eye on a new build but we have to have ours STC before they’ll allow us to reserve it, so we’re hoping to sell quickly.

My in-laws house sold in under a week and we had an offer in the first 24 hours. I think the market is crazy at the moment. Z

I generally go with 3 valuations. I then weigh up the company local reputation, the price they claim that they can get and the fee they intend charging.
It also depends on how much marketing you believe will be needed to achieve a sale. If yours is one of 100 identical house on an estate, Zoopla indicates that the prices are set in stone and it is also clear that they sell very quickly, then it may be worth going to one of the fixed fee, cash up front companies such as Purple Bricks and saving money. If it is a property that might not sell, then of course, you might not want a failure to cost you anything.. then you go to a standard, high street Estate Agent.

It's worth ringing them up as a prospective buyer to see how they deal with your enquiry.

There are other things I factor in as well. How big is the sales team. Do they have access to buyers from other local ideally more expensive areas. I live in Greater London and prices from one town or another can vary by 10% or more. Finding a buyer quickly is great but who is going to look after the sale after they find me a buyer, until exchange and completion. The same sales person or am I going to be passed on to a call centre somewhere. I’d also check out there online reviews maybe there google reviews to see what people have used them have thought.
