Do I have to pay estate agent fees if I sell privately in Southwark?
If you sell your Southwark home entirely privately with no agent involved, there's no agent fee to pay. However, most Southwark 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 Southwark agents on AgentSeeker. committed-fee Southwark agents.
How can I reduce estate agent fees in Southwark?
The three most effective ways to reduce estate agent fees in Southwark: first, ask for a committed fee up front rather than accepting the headline rate; second, compare multiple Southwark agents, since local competition usually shifts the number by 0.2–0.4%; third, consider a sole-agency contract for a lower rate in exchange for exclusivity.
