Changing Estate Agents When Selling House
Comments

Searches are originally done as part of the HIP, which you have, so in my eyes they shouldn't be charging you for anything else. As far as I can see the only other costs your EA should be billing you for is their fee if they sell it. Other costs are payable to solictor, again if it sells. I really wouldn't be giving the EA any more money! If you change agents they *may* charge a marketing fee to pay for board etc but which agent you change to and what they charge is your decision.Scar tissue that I wish you saw, sarcastic mister know it all, close your eyes and I'll kiss you cause with the birds I'll share this lonely view.0

Sorry, forgot to add that if any additional searches are required (they most likely will be, HIPs are rubbish) then the buyer will be paying the costs.Scar tissue that I wish you saw, sarcastic mister know it all, close your eyes and I'll kiss you cause with the birds I'll share this lonely view.0
