This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition Regulation of fees charged by Estate Agents
More details
The fee charged by estate agents to sell your house is a percentage of the sale price of the property. Some estate agents charge up to 3%.
This is an extra prohibitive burden on families who need to change house. It is an extra 'tax' on our hard-saved money.
The work done by the estate agents to sell a property is very much a constant AND not proportional to the price of the house. The fee charged by Estate Agents should be a fixed fee, e.g. £400, rather than a percentage.
Hence, by voting for this petition, you will encourage our MPs to consider this subject and to discuss it in our parliament.
