Estate agents

What a bunch of spivs these people are.

I'm thinking of selling up and so I've had a few of these people round for a valuation. Why are they all scousers who look like they just go out of prison? Eh, I think we can shift this one for ya, you ready to do a deal?

Anyway, 1.5% sole agency fees. That's about £3,500 (plus VAT) to take a few photos, write a bit of blurb and field a few calls. One even said, they pretty much get all their business through the internet these days and stick the properties on rightmove and then take a few emails.

I think I'll cut out the middleman and try and shift it meself like. Calm down calm down!

Cheers peeps.

These guys (estate agents) truly take the piss when it comes to cost.

See this one then if ytou think thats a bit biased

www.citywire.co.uk/News/N...onID=74965

Comes from the goverment and shows a 0.8% drop or about £2k off the average house price for the past month

re crash

would you call 0.8 of one percent a crash?

Re: re crash

Ask me again in 6 months time.

what's wrong with scousers. I know quite a few nice ones

That 0.8% drop last month still sees a 5.7% increase over the year.
Other reporters in this field ie Halifax say that this was not unexpected due to easter falling early.
