What's included in an estate agent's fee in Fenchurch Street

The typical estate agent fee in Fenchurch Street is quoted as a percentage of the final sale price. For a home selling at the Fenchurch Street 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.

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 Fenchurch Street 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.
