Most people chose an estate agent either on the basis of the lowest fee – or the highest valuation – oh, that life should be so easy! An estate agents job is to sell your home for the best price they can achieve – they are required to be on your side, not on the buyers. Technically, not all estate agents are estate agents, but we include other sorts of agents in our category – anyone who can help you sell or buy a home. The National Association of Estate Agents is the main professional body. Always read the contract the estate agent sends you, and make sure you understand when you will be required to pay them the fee, and how that fee will change if you decide to instruct other agents – sometime the fee will more than double. Make sure the agent explains this to you and that his explanation tallies with the paperwork! So please use www.FindaPro.co.uk to find a local agent or one in the area you want to move to.
