What's included in an estate agent's fee in Bordon

The typical estate agent fee in Bordon is quoted as a percentage of the final sale price. For a home selling at the Bordon average, the typical fee works out at around 1.7% — 0.28 percentage points above the UK sole-agency midpoint of 1.42% published by HomeOwners Alliance. Most UK towns sit above that midpoint, some below — 1.7% is where Bordon currently lands given local sale prices.

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 1.7% 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.

A Bordon agent's fee typically covers: the property valuation, professional photography and a floorplan, listing on Rightmove / Zoopla / OnTheMarket, handling enquiries and viewings, offer negotiation, and progressing the sale through to completion. Extras sometimes charged separately include premium listing boosts, EPC arrangement, and For Sale board hire.

Contract types Bordon agents typically offer

  • Sole agency — one Bordon agent marketing your home for a fixed tie-in period (usually 8–12 weeks). Fees are lowest here, typically at the Bordon band of 1.4% to 2.0%.
  • Sole selling rights — similar to sole agency but you owe the fee even if you find a buyer. Less common; read the contract carefully before signing in Bordon or anywhere else.
  • Multi-agency — multiple Bordon agents compete, only the one who sells gets paid. Fees are higher (often 0.3–0.5 percentage points above sole) to compensate for the risk of not winning the sale.
