About VAT — read this if you're comparing sites: industry-wide, agents quote a fee ex-VAT and add 20% at contract stage.

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 Llantwit Major 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.
