Find an estate agent

Estate agents can help you with every step of your home-buying and selling journey. From valuing your home and getting it on the market to putting you in touch with other professionals you may need.

They are also excellent at contacting potential buyers via phone & email, and marketing your property through their window displays and flyers and via portals like PrimeLocation.

They handle enquiries from potential buyers, help with all the required paperwork and ensure the process keeps moving as quickly as possible.

We partner with thousands of local estate agents to give you the best choice.

Simply search by location or agent name to find out more about your local agents.

When choosing an estate agent, try to select a shortlist of three.

Get recommendations from friends, family and neighbours. If you liked the agents who sold your house to you, add them to your list too.

Invite the agents to your home and ask them for a valuation.

Find out things such as:

• their rate of commission

• how quickly these agents sell properties

• if they usually achieve the asking price

• if they have experience of selling a property like yours

• what they'll do if the property takes a while to sell

Estate agent fees typically range from 1% to 3.5% of your home’s sale price, and you usually pay after your home has sold.

The fee can vary depending on the estate agent, where you live and the type of service you choose.

It’s all about weighing up the fee against the service you’ll get, as a higher rate might mean more time and effort dedicated to your sale.

Booking a few valuations is a great way to compare quotes and find out what’s included in different estate agents’ fees.

Short answer, yes!


Estate agents are experts in their field, and have the experience and knowledge to help you with every step of your purchase/rental.

They also have a network of contacts to help keep your purchase moving.

Estate agents do charge a fee for their services but it’s usually a small percentage of the total sale price of your property.

We recommend getting at least three estate agent valuations.

Estate agents deal with different buyers, different properties and different sales data, and all of this feeds into the value they set for your home.

With a few opinions, you can get a realistic range and land on the most accurate value for your home.
