Online fixed-fee agents offer an alternative for sellers looking to reduce upfront costs, with typical fees ranging from £999 to £1,999 including VAT. However, in a village market like Waddesdon where personal relationships and local knowledge matter, traditional percentage-based agents often provide better service and potentially better outcomes. The typical fee range in England is 1-3% plus VAT, meaning for a £400,000 property, fees would range from £4,800 to £14,400. We recommend obtaining valuations from at least three agents before making your decision.
