Tie-ins typically run 4 to 12 weeks, and The Property Ombudsman&#8217;s Code of Practice treats anything beyond 12 weeks as excessive. A separate notice period \u2014 commonly two weeks \u2014 then runs after the tie-in before the contract actually ends.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\" style=\"background: #fff8ec; border: 1px solid #f0dfc2; border-radius: 12px; padding: 16px 18px 2px; margin: 22px 0 26px;\">\n<p style=\"color: #20332e; font-size: 16.5px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 14px;\"><strong style=\"color: #0f2b26; font-weight: bold;\">Watch for the open-ended clause.<\/strong> If the contract has no end date on the agent&#8217;s introduction rights, they can claim commission years later from a buyer they once showed round.

Multi-agency agreements, where two or more agents compete, typically cost 3% to 3.6% including VAT.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #0b6b53; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.35; font-weight: bold; margin: 24px 0 8px;\">Are estate agent fees subject to VAT?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #20332e; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 18px;\">Yes. Estate agent commission is a standard-rated service, so VAT applies at 20%. A quote of 1.5% plus VAT is really 1.8% of your sale price. The Property Ombudsman&#8217;s Code of Practice requires agents to advertise fees inclusive of VAT and to say so explicitly.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #0b6b53; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.35; font-weight: bold; margin: 24px 0 8px;\">Do buyers pay estate agent fees?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #20332e; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 18px;\">No. In the UK the seller pays the estate agent, because the agent is instructed by and works for the seller. Buyers pay their own solicitor, survey, mortgage and Stamp Duty costs, but nothing to the seller&#8217;s agent. A separate buying agent is a different service you would hire yourself.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #0b6b53; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.35; font-weight: bold; margin: 24px 0 8px;\">When do you pay estate agent fees?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #20332e; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 18px;\">You become liable when contracts are exchanged, but payment normally happens at completion. Your conveyancing solicitor settles the agent&#8217;s invoice out of the completion money and sends you the balance, so you rarely pay the agent directly from your own funds.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #0b6b53; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.35; font-weight: bold; margin: 24px 0 8px;\">How do I avoid estate agent fees when selling?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #20332e; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 18px;\">You can sell privately, use a fixed-fee online agent, sell at auction, or sell to a cash buying company that charges no commission. Each cuts or removes the fee, but private sales mean doing your own marketing and negotiation, and cash sales usually mean accepting below market value.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #0b6b53; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.35; font-weight: bold; margin: 24px 0 8px;\">Can I be charged a fee if my house does not sell?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #20332e; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 0 0 18px;\">Under a no sale, no fee commission agreement, no. But fixed-fee online packages are often payable up front whether or not you sell, and a &#8220;ready, willing and able purchaser&#8221; clause can make you liable even if you withdraw. Always read those two clauses before signing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"updated\" style=\"color: #5b6b66; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.75; margin: 34px 0 0; border-top: 1px solid #e3ece9; padding: 14px 0 0;\">Written by <a style=\"color: #0b6b53; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.springbokproperties.co.uk\/blog\/about-dan-green\">Dan Green<\/a>, Springbok Properties.
