UK estate agent fees 'are the lowest in the world'
Research undertaken by Estate Agent Today suggests that fees charged by traditional estate agents in the UK are amongst the best value of their kind in the world - and may well be the lowest anywhere.
Extensive online, telephone and email research by EAT has produced a table of agents’ charges from many major countries.
Such comparisons almost inevitably result in averages which mask differences in service provision, regional price variations within different countries, and contrasting positions where sometimes sellers and sometimes buyers pay some or part of agents’ fees.
We have tried to compare each based on sole agency or the nearest equivalent in each country. These fees are also before national VAT equivalents - these are levied on agents’ fees in most, but not all, countries.
