Well, MS, my advice would be to still have some kind of letter of agreement (even a short one) with the agents.  No matter if you have several agents.  It just helps to avoid dificulties when the time comes.  If there is nothing in writing the agents can say or do as they wish.

IMO it would be helpful if the initial pre.contract deposit paid by the purchaser could be placed, if not with you, then with the solicitor.

Erring on the side of caution is never a bad idea!

 

All the best

I would have hoped that you had a written agreement with the agent, stating teh commission and other conditions, as in, what the agent should do on your behalf in the transaction. It is still not too late to get your agreement with him in writing.

If the commission is 3,5% then it would be, IMO, 3,5% of the price at which you sell.

Hello Ads:

I think Maria made some comments on this topic on a number of occasions.  No doubt she would be aware of the inner workings of the law societies and their members.  I am sure that, as always, she would have something constructive to say.
