If You Are Looking To Change Agents, Here Are Some Tips - Tip 1

In general most estate agency agreements are more or less the same. Here are a couple of points you may want to look into.

Tip 1 - Make sure you read the contract!

Most estate agents will have a clause in the contract regarding 'sole selling rights'. This is an exclusive period with that agent when they initially sign up. This period can be as long as 26 weeks!! You can only change agents once you are out of this agreement and served your notice period.

Serving your notice - Some agents expect a four-week notice! This is crazy, however, make sure you hack this notice period by giving them notice four weeks before the end of the sole selling period. So if the sole selling period is 12 weeks, give them notice at 8 weeks!
