Can I sell my property with sellhouses as well as an estate agent ?

The answer in most cases is yes but if you are also selling with an estate agent then please take care and check what agreement you are bound with first. An Idea of the different agreements available are listed below.

If you choose to sell your home through an estate agent you are going to be given some of the following options:

Sole Agency

If you are already using an Estate Agent to sell your home then the appointed agent is the only agent who can sell your property, however, as you are not an Estate Agent yourself, if you do find a buyer yourself through private advertising then you do not have to pay the Estate Agent commission. We do recommend that you do inform your Estate Agent you are also selling your property privately elsewhere.

Sole Selling Rights

In this case, the Estate Agent is the only person with the right to sell your home, if you do sell your home privately then you are still bound to pay the Agent their commission. We recommend you discuss private advertisement with your agent first and try to arrange a discount on commission if you do sell your property privately.

Multiple Agency

In this case, you may appoint as many Agents as you like to sell your home, the agent who does sell your home is then paid his commission, you may find that this type of agreement the commission is slightly higher.
