Every Bury agent here comes with a fee, inclusive of VAT, settled before you speak to anyone. Some agents set their own. Where they haven't, AgentSeeker quotes the fee on your behalf. Either way it is what you would pay, and it cannot rise at contract stage.
Every Bury agent is scored on four things we can actually see: their Google rating and how many people left one, how competitive the fee is, how many homes they currently have on the market in your postcode district, and how they rank against the other agents working it.
