What's included in an estate agent's fee in Royal Wootton Bassett
The typical estate agent fee in Royal Wootton Bassett is quoted as a percentage of the final sale price.
For a home selling at the Royal Wootton Bassett average, the typical fee works out at around 1.9%,
0.48 percentage points above the UK sole-agency midpoint of 1.42%
published by HomeOwners Alliance. Most UK towns sit above that midpoint, some below, and 1.9%
is where Royal Wootton Bassett 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
total: an agent who accepts your enquiry accepts that percentage 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.
Why the committed fee is binding. When you submit an enquiry through
AgentSeeker and the agent accepts it, the Quoted Fee shown to you becomes the agency
fee binding the agent in any sale agreement that follows, so they cannot add VAT or any
further charge on top at the point of instruction. You're entitled to enforce this
directly against the agent under our
terms (Section 6A)
and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
A Royal Wootton Bassett 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.
