Selling property - one agent or two?

We are about to put up our property for sale. Hoping to sell before stamp duty holiday ends. The house will be vacant so running cost of mortgage, council tax etc.

We are wondering if we should go with one estate agent or two? The rate doubles if we don't go sole agent, so much more expensive by around 10k. Does it really improve my chances of selling by 31st March or should I save it incase I have to hold on to the house until summer and hence longer running costs?

If we go some agent then we are locked in for 8 weeks.

Any experiences/advise?

I was told by an EA recently that 90% of traffic comes through RightMove so as long as the agent has you on there you'll be fine

De-clutter as much as possible before photos and check what other houses in your area are worth

One EA said my knowledge was as good as an EA! When you look on RightMove five times a day for three months I guess it would be!

Update - we have gone ahead with one agent & listed today. Thank you all for your time & input.
