PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Beware of any sole agency which are fine, especially if you get a reduced rate, but the sting in the tail is that if you change agents the original sole agent may want his fee anyway. Read the contract very carefully to make sure this doesn't happen.

Ask to see their sales record, how many per month, how close to asking price, how many fall through and so on. In fact create your own questionnaire for the agent, but this might just p*ss them off, but who cares.
In fact I can see a need for a website called ratemyagent! This would have some Amazon style feedback

It would be a good idea to contact your management company to see how much their selling pack is and their turn around time. Your solicitor will request it for you but it is useful information to have!Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck
