Be happy you aren't in US/Canada and paying close to 5% !

The 'logic' here is though that if you find a good agent they can get you back the 5% on the sale price. You probably don't want to totally skimp on this service.
That's quite a lot. http://www.justice.gov/atr/public/real_estate/save...

Is the process in the US/Canada different? Do the agents in the US/Canada do a lot more of the legal side perhaps?

Thanks for everyones input, we seem to have gone Way off topic now so could a mod close the thread.
A local agent is willing to take a 1% fee which I would have thought was high but after reading peoples post here I have come around to the idea of paying up.
Its not a huge issue if it does not sell as we have a place in the south. I will post back if we manage to sell it and how much we get.
Is it on the market yet? Not seen it on Rightmove.A local agent is willing to take a 1% fee which I would have thought was high but after reading peoples post here I have come around to the idea of paying up.

I am inclined to agree with you. I'd be interested to know how much the OP paid for it when he bought it. There is one in the area which sold for £300,000 back in May 2010 and which Zoopla reckons is now worth £1.062m, although I must admit to being very unsure as to how they have arrived at that figure. I suspect there is an element of believing that spend equals value. The kitchen and bathroom fittings have cost almost as much as the average price of a property in the area and there are very few flats being marketed in the area, the next most expensive is on for £245,000 and there are no houses in the area currently being marketed for more than £1 mill.
Having been reminded to look at this thread from another thread today I find Zoopla have changed the value of the flat I found in Chesterfield to £307,855 which seems more reasonable.Have you sold yours yet OP?

Thanks, the property is only unusual because of the size and spec for the location. Its 6400 sq ft (600m2) has 5.5m high ceiling in most rooms, 100k worth of bathrooms, 70k kitchen and everything is connected to a smart home system. I have jammed packed it with gadgets and toys.
I'm not being funny, but how the hell is that a £70k kitchen?!?!
king thousand pounds.More money than sense comes to mine.
Maybe the emperor needs some new clothes also...
Unfortunately I haven't

Funny that you said that back in Oct.As noticed that London tubes this week are flooded with ads of an agent free property sale service, guess who owns it... yup the beanpole.
