| Comment | You are definitely not haggling even close to enough if you're being quoted a £500 handling fee (never heard of that) or 1% commission. Max should be nothing up front, or at most the cost of their Rightmove listing fee (less than £200).
You should easily get an estate agent down to 0.75% or under with no fees up front. If they tell you upfront fees are to cover their costs if the flat doesn't sell just reply with "Are you telling me you cant sell my flat for the price you've said it'll go for?". |
