"There are really two factors: the locality and the type of property."

"You need to know at what price they would put the property on the market. That may sound like the beginning and end of it. But many an unscrupulous agent with no instructions (because he is no good) will come and quote an outrageously high price just to get the instruction and then talk you down when no viewings materialise. You can waste several weeks that way. "

"Fees will obviously be a factor in your choice. If one estate agent seems just as good as another and will charge you half a percent less, you will favour him. But usually in an area most agents charge roughly the same. Anyone seriously undercutting may be doing so because they can't get business on merit. You will be wasting money by saving on commission with that type of agent."
