How we rank the best estate agents in Stanley

Every estate agent on AgentSeeker's Stanley rankings is assessed on three pillars — the same three that actually affect your sale outcome, not the reviews and awards that often fill competitor rankings.

  1. Asking-price achievement — the ratio of sold price to original asking price across each agent's recent Stanley transactions. Higher is better; 97%+ is the national benchmark we score against.
  2. Average sale time — days from listing to completion on the agent's recent instructions. Faster is better, with the local average days being the typical Stanley pace.
  3. Committed fee transparency — agents who publish a locked-in fee upfront rank higher than those who quote a range and negotiate later. In Stanley, the typical fee sits around 2.3% as a committed total (no VAT added on top).

We pull performance data from Land Registry, PropertyData and our own transaction records — not marketing claims.
