IS THE CHEAPEST AGENT GOING TO SAVE YOU THE MOST MONEY?

IS THE CHEAPEST AGENT GOING TO SAVE YOU THE MOST MONEY?

Naturally an agent who charges a low fee is going to be attractive to a prospective seller but, does a low fee actually mean the agent is the cheapest?

“How much are your fees?” is most common questions we get asked every day, and of course we understand that how much our services will cost you is important.

To us, the cheapest agent is the one who puts more money into the client’s back pocket. Surely, that’s the cheapest agent with the lowest fee we hear you say again!

Naturally the agent offering to charge you less seems more attractive, but can they do the job correctly at such a low rate?

If they are prepared to negotiate on their fee so quickly, what else will they negotiate on? The price of your property? If an agent allows you to out negotiate them then they’re not a very good negotiator are they!?!

At Benjamin Stevens we have been helping our clients sell property for almost 20 years. We are not the cheapest but our reputation speaks for itself. Our clients both recommend us and return to us because they know we can be trusted to provide the best service and get them the best price for their property.

A quicker, smOother, qualified sales process and obtaining the very best asking price, is the best possible outcome for everyone.

Truth be told in the current climate asking what an agent charges should actually be the last question not the first. Finding out their knowledge of the local market and the local area, how they find suitable buyers, what experience the staff have, how they deal with a difficult situation, etc should be the first questions that are asked.

If you're unhappy with your current agent and are looking for a better service then get in touch with us today and we will be happy to assist you with any of your property needs.

Whether you are ready to move or you are just starting to think about moving. We have the perfect valuation type for each step of your journey. CLICK HERE to find our more.

April is the final window for landlords in England to prepare for the first phase of the Renters’ Rights Act. With the new tenancy regime starting on 1 May 2026, now is the time to review paperwork, processes and whether self-management still feels realistic.

April is a good time for buyers to focus on readiness rather than guesswork. In a market where choice has improved but confidence remains mixed, being organised can make all the difference when the right home comes along.

If you are thinking about moving in the next 6 to 12 months, a market appraisal is often the best first step. It gives you a clearer view of value, timing and buyer demand, helping you plan with more confidence in a competitive 2026 market.

For tenants, April is a useful point to pause and plan. With rents still rising across the UK and the first phase of rental reform approaching in England, this is a good time to review your budget, renewal options and next move.
