Anyone sold a property recently?

I am putting my apartment on the market and want to know what the going rate is for estate agents percentage......

Is this because of the forthcoming wedding?

no but i am moving in with my girlfriend, we're building a house so need to flog the bachelor pad

Rate should depend on what value they get...I would stagger it. 1%, 1.25 and 1.5... Depending on what they get for it. And only sign a 2 month contract.....

And...want some help building and designing? I'm also a town planner by trade!

Cheers Nick but got that covered, my dad is designing it as a bit of a hobby (he's done quite a few in the past), and a family friend is building it so we're all covered.

High on the list is a RRS worthy garage

Excellent..good to have people in the right places.

Call me and I'll let you in into some really good new tech for your new place....will make you drool!!

Happy to help on planning, free of charge too mate.....

I think i paid 1.15% and it included the selling side of conveyancing with a estate agent/solicitor, around the same time a friend agreed 1% with his agent.

but that was September last year, nearly a year ago i really must start doing the stuff that needs doing

Thanks Nick and thanks kergan, will leave suppliers with builder......long way to go yet though before we get to tricking it out with super tech.

Just been quoted 1.5%+VAT............

speaking with my mate last year, and he was quoted around that, but because he had a property that would sell quickly, he used that to barter the chap down on price

1% for doing little work is better than nothing, if it doesn't sell, and you do more work then maybe a higher price could be negotiated, but signed a 2 or 3 month contract initially

Johnny go with what said in my first post......it's what I know and do almost every other month for my work.....

Nick just wondering if you'll know, if I was to look in to (when i can affird too) building a second floor extention above an existing ground floor only extension, basically extending what's downstairs upstairs to make bigger bedrooms/bathroom, subject to planning is it relatively straight forward(i.e. taking roof off, building upwards installing floor and topping of with a roof)?
