Which estate agents? NW London

Hi,
We are looking to put our property on the market, and met with the local high street agent. Having looked through their contract their rates are 1.5% (+ VAT which takes total to 1.8%) and they also have a clause which says if they present a ready, willing and able buyer and we don't proceed we have to still pay them their fee. This just seems a bit fishy.

I am going to book some more valuations but just wondered if anyone based in NW London has any recommendations. Or whether you think that clause is standard? My parents are selling at the moment and they said not to sign with that clause... eek.

TIA

Haggle hard on the commission and ask for that clause to be removed. IMHO they are likely to say yes as need your instruction in the current climate.
Don't just go with what the standard paperwork says!
