Question : Do I need to use an estate agent?

Answer:

No you do not . You will be doing yourself what the estate agent traditionally would be paid to do for you. There is no law which prevents you selling your house privately . If you decide you want to use an estate agent as well as intelisell there is no problem either. Just be careful as to the type of contract you have with your estate agent . There are a few contracts to be aware of.

1. Sole agency agreement.
Your estate agent can claim only if they introduce the buyer and sell your property and also can claim commission if another estate agent sells your property. They cannot claim any commission if you sell privately through intelisell as we are not an estate agent.

2. Sole selling agreement.
The estate agent is the only one who has the right to sell your house. Even if you sell privately the agent is still entitled to commission.

3. Ready willing and able.
Beware of this type of agreement. This means that the estate agent is able to claim commission if they can provide someone who is ready willing and able to buy your property but for some reason your property isn't sold or you decide to sell to someone else privately.

4. Contracts excluding private sale.
Estate agents are only too aware in todays market they are loosing £1000's on people selling privately and so many introduce a clause which prevents  you from selling your property privately even if you understood you had a sole agency agreement.
