The typical estate agent fee in Upton Snodsbury is quoted as a percentage of the final sale price.

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 1.7% 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 — 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.

Fee bands vary by local sale prices and market competitiveness. Upton Snodsbury's 1.7% is drawn from local Land Registry data; the UK midpoint reflects HomeOwners Alliance's published national sole-agency average.
