For a property at the CF32 9 average of £231,484, this equates to fees between £2,778 and £8,333. While it can be tempting to focus on the lowest fee, agents charging percentage-based rates have stronger incentives to secure the highest price for your property.

Consider what services are included, such as professional photography, floor plans, and virtual tours, as these significantly impact buyer interest. The cheapest option isn't always the most cost-effective when it affects your final sale price by thousands of pounds.
