With the likes of purple bricks on the market, your agent fee is on the high side. But I went for Townends, because I belive Alex would do a good job for us.

What agent could do to change your mind?
I find the additional sales items that Townends offer always to be way above market value. Insurance I got at half their price elsewhere. The cleaning for a studio flat was twice the price it should have been. The monthly fee is okay, only has I negotiated hard.
