Your lovely property deserves really good marketing - Savills, Knight Frank, Symonds & Sampson for starters. They should do you a glossy brochure, and advertise in the weekend broadsheet papers and high quality magazines - Country Life and your County magazine. Also, if you don't feel like dealing with the visitors, they should do all the house viewings themselves. Make them work for their money

Hi,
As a quick note Knight Frank have some top people, if you ask them they will advise you, you don't need a separate planning consultant, Savills the same.

I have had the local branch of KF out and will probably go with them if only for the reason they were the most pushy, but I deffo got the impression that the 1.5+vat commision did not include any extras, which would be suitbably (and heavily) charged for. To be fair it was them who gave me the idea of using a planning consultant, and via them that I have had some photos of the house taken - which I am holding out high hopes for - we will see. But as I arranged these myself they will be £150 and I am fairly certain the figures being bandied around wer £275 + so the are obviously not content with their 1.5 % of everything - not that I would think for one minute that any of the other agents are any different

You'd be surprised - they DO actually differ a lot and it is worth haggling if you feel up to it.

Feeling slightly under par just now - probably tooth, but if I feel a bit better perhaps I will try to haggle them down a bit on pricing.

If you get percentage fee quotes from a few others by email that will help - just basic stuff, they don't need to see the property at that stage.

Thanks - I might just do that. You can see by the amount of post I have made today that I am enjoying practicing on the new PC The radio mouse has arrived also. Just plugged in the little doopha at the side and it installed itself. I think maybe new technology has turned the corner
