On AgentSeeker, that percentage is the total fee you pay — agents don't add VAT on top at contract stage, which is unusual in the industry and is our core transparency promise.

Do I have to pay estate agent fees if I sell privately in Eltham?
If you sell your Eltham home entirely privately with no agent involved, there's no agent fee to pay. However, most Eltham agents operate on a 'sole agency' or 'multi-agency' contract — and if a buyer originally introduced by the agent completes, the fee is still due even if you handle the final negotiation yourself. Always check the contract before signing. Compare committed-fee Eltham agents on AgentSeeker. committed-fee Eltham agents.
