Competitive rates not the most cheapest but not the most expensive. Completely happy - as the saying goes "you get what you pay for". In our experience this was worth it from start to finish.

Comment on agent fees
We saw 3 agents One valued the house at ‚£225,000 and fees of 1%. One valued it at ‚£250k and wanted 1.25% We didn't use them because we could never get through to them on the phone. Reeds Rains wanted 1.5%. So they got an extra ‚£8,300 for us at an extra cost of 0.5%, but it took a year to do it. We could afford to wait.

We considered the fees to be acceptable, apart from the termination fee, which is something of an unfair penalty.
