For homes over \u00a3200,000 we agree the fee with you. No VAT is added to our agency fees. Your written quotation and signed agreement confirm what is included and when the fee is payable.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #f2c5ca;border-radius:8px;padding:18px 20px;margin:12px 0;background:#fff\">\n<summary style=\"font-size:19px;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;color:#e33543\">Are there any other costs?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:14px 0 0\">Solicitor, EPC, mortgage and other third party costs are separate unless agreed in writing. Auction has separate terms and charges. We explain the costs before you instruct us.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #f2c5ca;border-radius:8px;padding:18px 20px;margin:12px 0;background:#fff\">\n<summary style=\"font-size:19px;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;color:#e33543\">What is included in your marketing?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:14px 0 0\">We use professional photography, a floor plan and a 360\u00b0 virtual tour to help buyers explore the property. We advertise online, including on Zoopla, arrange accompanied viewings, share feedback and help progress agreed sales.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #f2c5ca;border-radius:8px;padding:18px 20px;margin:12px 0;background:#fff\">\n<summary style=\"font-size:19px;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;color:#e33543\">Can buyers view in the evening or at weekends?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:14px 0 0\">Yes. We offer evening, Saturday and Sunday viewings to work around people\u2019s jobs and lives. Same-day viewings can sometimes be arranged when the property is vacant or you have agreed to short-notice appointments, subject to team availability.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #f2c5ca;border-radius:8px;padding:18px 20px;margin:12px 0;background:#fff\">\n<summary style=\"font-size:19px;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;color:#e33543\">What makes your approach different?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:14px 0 0\">We do not wear uniforms or work to sales targets. At a viewing, the property and the buyer\u2019s questions come first. If we do not sell your property, we do not earn our agency fee. That keeps us focused on the right result and on following your sale through.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #f2c5ca;border-radius:8px;padding:18px 20px;margin:12px 0;background:#fff\">\n<summary style=\"font-size:19px;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;color:#e33543\">How do you set the asking price?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:14px 0 0\">We discuss your property, local market evidence and your timescale, then agree an asking price and marketing plan with you before launch.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #f2c5ca;border-radius:8px;padding:18px 20px;margin:12px 0;background:#fff\">\n<summary style=\"font-size:19px;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;color:#e33543\">How will I hear about viewings and offers?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:14px 0 0\">We keep you updated directly.
