Online estate agents can offer cost savings with fixed fees typically between £999 and £1,999, which may be attractive for properties in the lower price ranges common in G74 1 where the average asking price is £143,848. However, traditional high-street agents provide more hands-on support, local market expertise, and typically handle viewings and negotiations personally. Consider your priorities between cost and service level. For properties above £150,000, the additional marketing support from traditional agents often results in better sale prices.

While not legally required to sell, getting a survey can identify issues that might affect your sale or cause problems during the conveyancing process. For properties over 50 years old or in areas with known ground conditions, a RICS Level 2 survey (typically £450-£600) can provide valuable information and give buyers confidence in their purchase. In East Kilbride, where much of the housing stock dates from the 1970s and 1980s, a survey can highlight common issues such as roof condition, damp, or outdated electrical systems before they become negotiation problems.
