This is a common question. If you are already with an estate agent you will have a contract between yourself and the estate agent. There are 4 types as follows: 'Sole selling / letting' means your estate agent is the only one with the right to sell or letyour house. Even if you find a buyer or tenant yourself, you'll still have to pay the agent. 'Sole agency' also means the estate agent is the only one with the right to sell or let your house but if you find a buyer or tenant yourself, you won't have to pay the agent. 'Multi agency' means that you can choose several estate agents to market your house but you will only have to pay commission to the one who sells or lets it. 'Ready, willing and able purchaser' is a contract. If the estate agent finds you a buyer and you later withdraw from the sale, you'll still have to pay them. As we are not an estate agent and your contract is either 2,3 or 4 then you can still use our services and sell or let your properties privately. What does an estate agent do? Well they are basically the middle man as all legalities are done by your solicitor. Once you have a buyer you instruct your solicitor who will then do the following. Conveyancing (the legal process of selling your house) Draw up a contract for the transaction Answer any basic questions that the buyers solicitor may ask such as listing the items that are staying when you sell your house. After the buyers' solicitor has done all the required searches you are then both ready to sign, agree on a completion date and exchange the contracts. As you can see an estate agent has nothing to do during this whole selling or letting process. Click here to place advert Now! Sell or Let Faster!
