I think about that lesson a lot with things like polenta. Sure, you can load it with milk (and then, often, finish it with butter and tons of cheese). It will taste good, but it'll also leave you feeling pretty gross afterward.
A typical estate agent's fee could total around Â£7,680 after VAT, in London the average House price is approximately Â£350,000 which could equate to commission as high as Â£16,800. Add to this a solicitor's conveyancing fees, which average around Â£1,000.
Estate agents will often stress that they canât budge from their standard percentage fee. Remember though, itâs not the average percentage fee but rather the total amount of fees throughout the year that matters to the business. Even 0.6% of Â£500,000 is Â£3,000 and that goes a long way in the current financial climate.o just beware that when the agent quotes you a fee of 1% of the Â£300,000 sale price, you will actually pay 1% of the sale price PLUS 0.175% of the sale price in VAT. So you are effectively paying the agent 1.175% and not 1%.
