Estate agent fees

Annasopra · 2017-05-15 13:23:02

I spoke to an estate agent this morning. They said to me that their fees are roughly ?500 for brochures, website ads, photographs etc etc and then 2% of the sale value. Is 2% average? I read somewhere else that 1.5% is the going rate.

sorry I meant, when i buy a home...

does the buyer pay all that as well?
or is just the seller who is paying that?

I am looking at all kind of expenses who the buyer has to pay in order to buy a property.

Cheers

The buyer doesnt pay any fees to the estate agent Danko. The vendor pay their fees.

You will have to engage a solicitor to act on your behalf. You're looking at approximately €2,000 for that. Stamp duty of 1% of the sale price. Engineers report is advisable €300 - €500. If you're getting a mortgage, you will require a valuation. Some banks pay for this themselves but if you need to pay it you're looking at €120 - €150.

Hope that helps
