How much money could you save selling without a traditional estate agent?

Why this matters

Traditional estate agency fees are often charged as a percentage of the final sale price. That means the more valuable the property is, the larger the fee can become.

What to prepare

A fixed-fee advert changes the calculation. Instead of giving away a percentage, you pay for the advertising package and any selected add-ons you need.

Practical checklist

• Compare the fixed cost with a percentage fee on your expected sale price.
• Allow for legal, EPC or document costs separately.
• Think about whether you are comfortable managing enquiries and viewings.
• Keep the buyer journey professional so the saving does not come at the expense of trust.

Next step

For confident sellers, the saving can be significant. The trade-off is that you take a more active role in the sale process.
