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

The typical estate agent fee in Dyce is quoted as a percentage of the final sale price. For a home selling at the Dyce average, the typical fee works out at around 1.4% — broadly in line with the UK sole-agency midpoint of 1.42% published by HomeOwners Alliance. Most UK towns sit above that midpoint, some below — 1.4% is where Dyce 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 1.4% 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.

A Dyce 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 Dyce agents typically offer

  • Sole agency — one Dyce agent marketing your home for a fixed tie-in period (usually 8–12 weeks). Fees are lowest here, typically at the Dyce band of 1.7% to 2.1%.
  • 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 Dyce or anywhere else.
  • Multi-agency — multiple Dyce 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.

What are common estate agent red flags in Dyce?

However, most Dyce agents operate on a 'sole agency' or 'multi-agency' contract — and if a buyer originally introduced by the agent completes, the fee is still due even if you handle the final negotiation yourself. Always check the contract before signing. Compare committed-fee Dyce agents on AgentSeeker. committed-fee Dyce agents.
