The Real Cost of Selling Your Home Through an Estate Agent
Selling your home through an estate agent is a slow and costly process that doesn’t even guarantee that your house will sell. To help you better understand the costs of selling your home through an estate agent, here is what you can expect should you decide to take that route:
- You’ll pay between 1% and 3% of the price your house sells for in estate agent fees
- You will have to cover all solicitor costs to complete the legal side of the sale
- You’ll have to pay for a new EPC certificate if yours has expired
- You may need to carry out costly repairs to attract buyers
- You’ll face the risk of price reduction if your property stays on the market too long
- You will have to keep paying council tax, utilities, and mortgage until your house sells
And the above doesn’t even touch on the added stress and uncertainty that comes with selling a house on the open market.
How a Cash Buyer Replaces the Need for an Estate Agent
The job of an estate agent is to act as the middleman between property sellers and prospective buyers. They are in charge of advertising your property, organising viewings, and helping both you and a potential buyer come to an agreement.
When you sell your property through a cash buyer like us, there is no need for an estate agent, as we will be buying your property directly from you. By selling your property to us, the entire process is not only streamlined, but you also don’t need to wait around for your property to generate interest, host endless viewings, and carry out any costly repairs.
What to Expect When You Sell Directly Without an Estate Agent
When you sell directly to us instead of on the open market through an estate agent, you can expect the whole process to be much faster, significantly less stressful, and cheaper. Here is what the typical process looks like:
- You request a quote, we give you an offer, and you decide if you want to sell
- If you want to go through with the sale, an agreement is signed to begin the process
- We will carry out a comprehensive condition report of your house
- The report is reviewed and sent for an independent valuation
- The valuation is returned, and the agreed sale price is confirmed
- We carry out a structural survey to ensure there are no major issues missed
- Contracts are finalised, and the sale is completed

How does a direct cash sale compare to selling through an estate agent?
In contrast, when you sell through an estate agent, the time to sell you can expect is going to be between 4 and 6 months, and that’s if the potential buyers don’t pull out at the last minute. Estate agents also charge a fee of between 1% and 3% of the sale price of your home, which can easily be many thousands of pounds. They also don’t cover your legal costs, so you’ll have to pay for those out of your own pocket as well.
