Search for estate agents in the UK on Yell.com

An estate agent is a person who has been chosen by the owner of a property to act on their behalf to sell it. It is the estate agent's job to develop interest amongst buyers of your property and generally make the process of selling a property a virtually pain-free process.

Some points to consider when choosing an estate agent are:

• Think about contacting at least three different estate agents before making your decision;
• Ask the estate agent how long it has taken to sell similar flats or houses in your area;
• Find out what commission the estate agent will charge;
• Ask what contracts the estate agent offers;
• Find out how the estate agent will advertise your house or flat;
• Ask if they are a member of the National Association of Estate Agents—this is a professional organisation whose members are bound by certain rules of conduct that ensure you get a fair deal.
