Typical 1.4% total — no VAT added at contract · 2026 market data

The typical estate agent fee in Blair Atholl is quoted as a percentage of the final sale price.

About VAT — read this if you're comparing sites: industry-wide, agents quote a fee ex-VAT and add 20% at contract stage. So what looks like "1.5%" on a competitor's site is actually 1.8% once VAT is added. On AgentSeeker, the percentage we show is a committed total — the agent signs up to charge 1.4% as their all-in fee, with no VAT added later. To compare apples-to-apples: take any competitor headline percentage, multiply by 1.2, and that's what you'll actually pay there.
