What's included in an estate agent's fee in Mildenhall
The typical estate agent fee in Mildenhall is quoted as a percentage of the final sale price.
For a home selling at the Mildenhall 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 Mildenhall 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 Mildenhall 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.

How can I reduce estate agent fees in Mildenhall?
