Estate agencies usually charge a fee on the selling price of the property, which is generally between 3% and 7%. On top of this figure, VAT will apply at a rate of 21%, since this consumer tax is generally not included in the fee percentage (unless stipulated otherwise by the agency).
Can I sell a property that is already listed with another estate agent?
