Getting to Know More About the

Role of Estate Agents in the UK

There are many home owners who have bought homes

via estate agents. Not all of them will have good

experiences because there are some estate agents who

are known to give the wrong picture to buyers and

sellers. To avoid the agent trap, you will have to know

the key characteristics of estate agents. Once you have

this relevant information, you can select the best estate

agents in Thundersley or nearby places.

There are some estate agents who specialize in only

particular kinds of properties. So, you will have to first

find out the specialty of these estate agents and then take the dealing further. By and large, there are

many home owners or home seekers who select only one agent and rely completely on him or her to

provide deals on properties. In one way it may be good, but you are restricting yourself to only a few

properties.

Therefore, it is recommended that you select two to three real Estate Agents Hadleigh for your property

needs. In some cases, you may have to register online with a reputed estate agent, which is considered

to be a mandate for these agents. Real estate agents or letting agents in Thundersley are commission

agents and they may charge the seller as well as the buyer. Therefore, you will have to check out the

charges or commission percentage that the real estate agent is asking for.

By and large, in the UK, you will find that most real Estate Agents Rayleigh charge 1.5 percent of the

entire sale. As a customer of the real estate agent, you much be clear on the contract terms. Real estate

agents in south Benfleet have a reputation of being very honest and clear with their terms and

conditions. When they prepare contracts, they will make sure that you read every word of it. There are

several rules and regulations that govern property dealings.

If you find that your property dealer is using malpractices or falsifying information, then you should

immediately contact the local authority’s trading standards department. When you select an estate

agent for your property sale, you will have to be in constant touch with that agent. You will have to keep

all communication channels open when you interact with the estate agent.

You will have to maintain a record of phone conversations so that you are aware of the number of leads

the estate agent has given you. When you have a clear record of the communication between you and

the estate agent, there will be very less disputes in the future. When you make an offer to the real

estate agent, you will have to get a copy of that letter. This will also clear any doubts or any disputes in

the future.
