We need to sell my mother in law’s house.
Traditional estate agents in the area charge about 1.5% of the sale value (which would work out at about £4,000), whereas companies like https://www.purplebricks.co.uk/ charge about a quarter of that.
A quick Google suggests that the services offered aren’t very different. The obvious exception is the traditional agent will have a High Street shop, but I imagine that most house purchasers will look on-line first nowadays?
Has anyone got any experience of this new breed of estate agents? Any drawbacks or positives?
Not sure how relevantant this is, but the house we’re selling could be described as “needing modernisation” and I suspect it will go to either a small developer or to an individual who’s prepared to put a lot of time and effort into doing it up.
