Estate agent fees typically range from 1% to 3.5% of your home’s sale price, and you usually pay after your home has sold.
The fee can vary depending on the estate agent, where you live and the type of service you choose.
It’s all about weighing up the fee against the service you’ll get, as a higher rate might mean more time and effort dedicated to your sale.
Booking a few valuations is a great way to compare quotes and find out what’s included in different estate agents’ fees.

If you’re trying to compare estate agents in your area, here’s how to choose the right one:
Their track-record for selling properties similar to yours and how quickly they sell.
Their market knowledge of your area - local expertise matters.
Their marketing: check how their current listings appear (quality photos, floor-plans, clear descriptions).
The terms they offer: commission rate, length of contract, viewings policy.
Any available performance data via Zoopla’s comparison tools in MyHome; for example how many similar homes they have listed, average time on market.
Yes, you can change estate agents. We advise checking your current contract first - especially the notice period, tie-in clause, and any withdrawal fees.
Once that’s clear, you can instruct a new agent to take over marketing your property.
Many sellers switch when they’re not seeing enough viewings or offers.
A new estate agent can provide new photos, updated pricing advice, and renewed visibility on Zoopla.

When selling your home, ask questions that reveal experience, strategy, and reliability:
How many homes like mine have you sold and how quickly?
What marketing strategy will you use to attract buyers?
What fee do you charge, and what’s included?
How did you value my home? Is it backed by recent local sales?
How will you handle viewings, offers, and communication?
What happens if I want to switch agents?

These questions to ask estate agents when selling ensure you choose someone who delivers results and maximises your property’s visibility.
We recommend getting at least three estate agent valuations.
Estate agents deal with different buyers, different properties and different sales data, and all of this feeds into the value they set for your home.
With a few opinions, you can get a realistic range and land on the most accurate value for your home.
