Not All Agents Are The Same
Not all estate agents are the same. When you are selecting a bristol estate agent to sell your property it is worth asking many questions. How much will they charge? Do they do accompanied viewings? What do their brochures and window cards look like? What are the optional extras that you have to pay for? How often will your property appear in the local paper? What is their buyer's book looking like? A question well worth asking before giving them your business. Remember, you are looking for the best spread of services for the most reasonable fee.

When will I have to pay money out?
As a seller, you will have to pay for a Home Information Pack before marketing can begin. Once you have secured a sale, your bristol solicitor may ask for some money up front when their work begins. The balance of the money from the sale will come to you on the day of completion. The solicitor will take their fee out at this stage, as will the bristol Estate Agent. As a buyer, your solicitor may ask for some money up front when their work begins. On Exchange of Contracts, you will be asked by your solicitor to provide 5% or 10% of the purchase price. On the day of completion, your mortgage money will come in to your solicitor who will pass it on to the seller.
