Selling your house or apartment can often be a time consuming and stressful process. This is why many people choose to use an estate agent to aid the process. Estate agents can be useful as they can offer advice and take a lot of the effort out of trying to sell your home by arranging visits to your home, advertising the property and working out a valuation. Nonetheless estate agents often charge around 1-2% commission on the value that your home is sold for, so in many cases you lose a few thousand pounds for the privilege.
