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.
1 Fees are often quoted excluding VAT, which is currently 20%. 2  So a 1% fee is 1.2% inc VAT, or Â£3600 on a Â£300,000 home and a 2.5% fee is 3.0% inc VAT, or Â£9,000 on a Â£300,000 home. 3  Estate agents should clearly state whether fees include or exclude VAT.4  If the agent does not say upfront, be sure to check this point.state Agent fees vary, but 2% is a common rate of commission. Doesnât sound much when you say it like that but work it out and thatâs the 4 figure number youâre being asked to pay. We know, it hurts. And itâs made worse by the fact Estate Agents arenât very transparent about their fees.
