Typical Edinburgh estate agency fees?

Hello all

Was wondering if anyone has any idea of what Edinburgh agents might be charging? I have read the advice in the stickies above, but as most Edinburgh property viewings seem to be by open-house with little involvement by the agent, I am wondering if perhaps they have a lower fee than elsewhere.

(Probably wishful thinking I know)

Anyone with first hand experience of Edinburgh estate agency fees out there?

    I wouldn't use an estate agent, I'd use a solicitors like Neilsons. 90%+ of edinburgh properties are sold through ESPC.
  • Ok, solicitors then - sorry for the incorrect terminology.

    Any ideas of typical fees for sale?
  • Just bumping this thread up in case any evening MSE readers can help at all.
