thebiz10 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Off the top of my head it was £199 initial and then a flat fee £1,700 upon sale. We were impressed with the guy who came to vaue will only use them if they negotiate on the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannyGranny Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I found them very good for selling. Always squeeze the most out of the buyer. How much is the house on for/expected to sell for? Last time I sold with them was 2010 and it was a percentage with initial payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiz10 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 They gave us a "guide price" 115k-125k Idealisticly we would be willing to pay £1,500 (including VAT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01186704 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Haybrooks quoted us £2200+vat WH brown & Redis Rain £2040 inc VAT Bloor 1% house valued at 125k Haybrooks dropped to 1900 plus VAT when I questioned the price. The problem I have is they all offer the exact same thing. Think we're gonna try Bloor and give them 12 weeks before we try one of the more expensive bigger brands.

Works out at 1.2% inc. VAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 EAs should abandon the % fee nonsense as wholly unjustifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloobell67 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Does anyone know of advice re: contract law and cooling off period with these estate agents? I found this online: http://www.estateagenttoday.co.uk/894-cooling-off-period-stretches-to-14-days-from-friday So my question is, I am with estate agents which for various reasons I believe I've gone with the wrong ones / very dissatisfied with them [shocking I know!]- and I am within 14 days of signing my agreement. I will add I have not been given a copy of the T&C that should go alongside this. I'm considering pulling out and changing agents - but is it 14 days as this post mentions, or is it just 7 days? i just want to know where I stand before committing myself to a conversation with the agent tomorrow. Hope someone can help - there is also this link: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/3134/regulation/30/made which is the legislation referred to in the blog post. It's just I spoke to another agents today, who mentioned that it's a shame i wasn't in my 7 days otherwise I could just cancel - but if it is the 14 days then I am within this period [expires tomorrow!] Anybody out there know?

GrannyGranny Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Why not contact the EA and request their T & C's which you should have got when signing the contract. They should be able to email a PDF copy and you can then find out the terms of termination. No offence intended but why take the time to ask on here when you can find the answer out with one phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloobell67 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Why not contact the EA and request their T & C's which you should have got when signing the contract. They should be able to email a PDF copy and you can then find out the terms of termination. No offence intended but why take the time to ask on here when you can find the answer out with one phone call. Thanks for your reply - the EA were closed when I made the post last night and I emailed for the T&Cs yesterday afternoon but not yet received. As for making one phone call you mentioned, if you read my post I have received conflicting information about the legal cooling off period being either 7 or 14 days which is why I was asking if anyone knew on here. The terms of termination are not what I was enquiring about - you can have penalties with those, the cooling off period means you can come out of contract without any penalties. I was just asking if anyone knew about the 14 days cool off period so I would be better informed before I made the call to the EA which is what I plan to do this afternoon. Is there anyone on the forum that has used the cooling off period with an estate agent that can advise on how it went? Or is there anyone on here that can advise legally about the legislation found referring to 14 days cooling off period is correct as another EA advice I received only mentioned 7 days cooling off? here's the links to the posts again I'm referring to: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/3134/regulation/30/made http://www.estateagenttoday.co.uk/894-cooling-off-period-stretches-to-14-days-from-friday Edited March 13, 2015 by Bloobell67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
