Very many house sales come as a result of adverts the Estate Agents place on their pages in the local press. Different Estate Agents offer different frequencies with which the advert for your house will appear - THAT contributes to the different fees because, effectively, you are paying for those adverts
Depends if they sell you house for you, if they do it was money well spent. One agent had ours up for just short of 2 years and we had 2 couples through the door. We decided to let another Wallasey agent market it and in 8 weeks we had 10 people through the door and it was sold!!!!!!
I didnt realise there was so much taken into account. I was refering to rental fees with those figures. I think the credit check should be the same price, or very similar for each agent, and I think they should do a breakdown of where the rest of the money goes.
