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.
Real estate agent commissions: These can run anywhere between 3% and 7% depending on where you live and what you negotiate with your agent. A 4% real estate commission on a house that sells for $350,000 will set you back $14,000. In a hot market, you may be able to avoid this fee by selling your own home.
