If you're selling your house right now, what are you paying for the estate agent's fees

[bookmarket]

Outside of London, if that makes a difference. Are you paying a percentage or fixed fee and did you negotiate?

1% of selling price, in Oxfordshire.

Liverpool, 1% plus VAT

I’ve just had proposals from two different estate agents, one was fixed fee and the other was %

The % one was 1.1%

0.85% plus VAT

What other costs are there to selling a house. I am selling not buying, so trying to estimate total costs.

Conveyancing solicitor fees the other obvious main one, then removals.

Costs of both will depend a bit on where you are in the country and price/size of property being sold.

@Mildura thanks. We have bought separately and will sell later. So removal costs will be wrapped up in the purchase property. So its between 1-3% to the estate agent and then conveyancing. Which I hope will be less that the purchase conveyancing as we will not have to add in all the searches etc. Thanks.

Midlands 1%

Don’t forget the VAT on top of the 1-3%. If the property is mortgaged there might be an exit fee too. Another thing to consider is any request for repairs the buyer comes back with following the survey. You don’t have to do them, but they might try to negotiate the price down if you don’t, so I would factor in a few hundred for any small jobs to be done just in case

1.2% including VAT. Greater London--SW borough.

Those paying 1% is VAT included or excluded?

Excluded. So an additional 17.5% of the 1% you’re paying them.

1% plus vat. Plus solicitors costs of just over £1k. Midlands.

Isn't VAT 20%?

1% plus VAT East Mids.

17.5%? It’s been 20% since 2011.

Sorry that was aimed @jackiesgirl

I know…. Baby brain (or just general brain rot) has set in. Bad week to be my colleagues ahead.
