What commission rate are you paying EA?

[Thisandthat2017]

If you don't mind sharing, can I ask what you are/have paid EA in commission?

We currently have a deal of 0.8% + vat on a property valued between 400,000 & 425,000. The agent has agreed to go multi agent on the same terms but new agent 'is shocked' at the low commission rate and 'couldn't possibly see how they could go so low.' We have left the ball in their court but would be interested to know what deals everyone else has??

2.5% on £170,000

0.7% + Vat in June 2017. Offered 0.5% by a, newish estate agent who was trying to get established.

We did own viewings so went with an online agent. I think it was £500 all in with truly fab photos and customer service (booking appointments, chasing between offer and completion etc).

@mosaic123 what was the approx valuation of the property, as I think that makes a difference??
We have also been offered 0.5% but I don't rate the company so we won't be going with them. I don't know whether the new EA is just trying their luck but we are really not bothered if they market us or not. It just made me wonder what everyone else is paying.

We had 0.75% + vat earlier this year (house on market in April, sold in May, completed in August) two other agents said they would match that if I went with them instead - they had originally said at 1% and 1.25%

House values at £325k btw

1% back in February. £200k house south west.

5% on a $1,730,000 home in California. That stung! Agent did throw in .5% towards purchase price of new house, which was a nice gesture. It does seem that EA's do a whole lot more work for their money here, but still, it is a lot of money!

1% on all value properties here at the moment.

We paid 1% +VAT in February, house valued at 375k, Midlands

We’re paying 0.5% + VAT on £880k, in an extremely competitive market in a north west city. This is with one of the best agents in the town, and yet they actually valued the house the lowest, @ £825k, but we had a lot of interest!

Actually they wanted 1.25, but we had a deal where they charge us 1% if they don't achieve an asking price, which they/we didn't.
Sold to very good acquaintances in the end, which we were a little pissed off about(about having to pay the commission!) because we ended up doing all the communication directly anyway, since we already had each others contact numbers etc and it felt weird/timewasting communicating via the agent.

Flat fee of £1299 with Purplebricks. We come under London prices! Most people pay £850. Much better than our ex agent we would of paid 1.5% to for being incompetent, rude & negligent!

Which online ea? JojoSM2 Tia

I paid a flat fee of £699 + vat on a 200k house. A traditional estate agent, not online, they did all the viewings etc.
They were a new company starting out so we're offering a £1500 to sell package, but I negotiated them down.

They have come back saying they won't go lower than 1.25 + Vat. No loss, I will find another that will, it's just interesting that they vary so much.

Flirty, we used Property Eagle (a few times). Looking at their website, it's £399 + vat. They do pics, floor plans, post on all the main websites, and are very good at communicating.

Sorry, I missed that I'd been asked a question. Value approx, £975k.

Thanks JOJosm2
