Innerleithen Estate Agents: Frequently Asked Questions
What percentage do most estate agents charge in Innerleithen?

Do I have to pay estate agent fees if I sell privately in Innerleithen?
If you sell your Innerleithen home entirely privately with no agent involved, there's no agent fee to pay. However, most Innerleithen 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 Innerleithen agents on AgentSeeker. committed-fee Innerleithen agents.
