anyone sold their house recently?
I am interested in finding out the % deal anyone has achieved with an estate agent.
Plan to play a couple off against each other - both equally capable of selling the house through similar means.
I would like to know what represents a 'good dea' so i know it when i see it!.
In Berkshire if that makes any difference. House is a 3-bed semi circa £270k
Cheers in advance

Trying to sell my partners house at the moment.
A national estate agent chain wanted over £3k to sell a £120k house
Local outfit wanted 1% + vat. You can guess who got the deal
Both on Rightmove, have a shop front in the local high street, and advertise in all the local rags.

When I put ours on the market no one would go below 1.5% I wanted 1.25% and got only one of the estate agents to go to £50 above what 1.25% was, they had to have the last say 
Been a total bunch of wasters though. Had all the others keep phoning up for the business and when I ask them are they going to back down to 1.25% they say no and I tell them to not bother calling me back unless they change their minds Anyone who gets 1% or less in the South East is getting a very good deal!

I put a stepped rate in place when I sold a few years ago, it helps focus their attention on getting you want you want & nails them on their valuation, £5k off the asking is £50 to them & £4,950 to you ! Incentivise them !

1.5% on a house sold price of £520,000 - in Surrey. That took work as well. Foxtons were non negotiable at 3%. For that amount I'd want a b'j in their Mini every day!
