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
agent charge nowadays? It might not be worth the bother of avoiding
them.


A bloody fortune!


I've only ever bought a house, and that cost me £300 in 2000. I assumed
selling cost about the same.


Estate Agents charge anywhere upto 3.5%. So your £200k flat is costing
£7000 in fees which the seller pays.


Who the hell pays that for a FLAT?!
