Depends how easy and cheap it is to advertise on the main websites. I
assume the estate agents have discounts. Anyway, what does an estate

them.

Industry average is somewhere between 1 and 1.5% typically. They may do
fixed price deals on high end properties.

Ouch! So 1-1.5K on a 100K house! OMFG I'm amazed anyone pays that.

Not having a practical alternative tends to focus the mind.

Quite often its dwarfed by the other costs of moving anyway.

I can't think of another cost that great associated with moving.
