Online estate agent selection key points checklist:

• What services will you be getting in a price you are paying?
• Ask commission/price structure and explanation?
• Payment structure- how much is upfront payment?
• What if property doesn’t get sold?
• Any hidden 3rd party finance agreement?
• What reviews are saying about estate agents?
• Who is offering the best value for money?
• Any post sale hidden cost except agreed fees?
• Knowledge in the property market.
• Free home valuation.

3rd Party finance agreement:

Some agents may say, no upfront fees but they may ask you to sign a 3rd party finance agreement. A 3rd party finance agreement means “You have to pay a certain amount whether your property get sold or not” after a time. Paying a little fee like £99 is may save you £££. Those taking full upfront payment may show less interest or just do a basic job but those who asking you to pay on completion (No sale No Fee) may do the best job as they have invested their time and money in your property.
