    I work for a HA and if yours work the same as ours, your sale would have to go through them initially.

    The way ours works is that you have to pay for a valuation by a RICS surveyor - not an estate agent. They put a maximum price on the share that you can sell it for. We then have 4 weeks to sell by marketing via our database etc. Then you can put it on the open market. Don't sign up with an EA until you have checked this all out - if the HA find you a buyer, that saves you the EA fees. HA's do charge a fee but they are definately less than an EA.

    Also, it might be worth asking your HA about the new Mortgage Rescue Scheme that has just been launched - this could be a help to you, especially with the small share that you own.
