A small price to pay compared to the savings that can be made if we was to go with an estate agent.
Dont forget that the House Network is an estate agents, just without the local offices.
I hope you have a straight forward transaction when you find a buyer. I have always said finding the buyer can be the easy bit but getting a sale to completion is not. Every year we find only a handful of sales sail through, most have issues arising that need a lot of sorting and then the ones where there is very substantial time needed to move it through the issues that keep on arising.
As premier said a good bargain but in my opinion only usually where the buyer is a good position, tells the truth, is throughly checked out, has no or a very short chain and where the sellers house gets through the valuation and structural survey type of issues.A retired senior partner, in own agency, with 40 years experience in property sales & new build.
