Estate Agent Secrets Every Gravesend Seller Should Know

Estate Agent Secrets Every Gravesend Seller Should Know

When selling or letting your home, choosing the right estate agent in Gravesend is vital - but understanding the contractyou sign is just as important. Some agreements hide long tie-ins, automatic renewals, or unexpected fees that can cost you dearly.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid:

  • Long Contracts: Avoid being tied in for 6 - 12 months. A fair agent offers flexible terms - at M&M Estate & Letting Agents, our 0-week contract means full freedom.
  • Hidden Costs: Always ask about extra charges for photos, EPCs, or withdrawal fees. The best estate agents in Gravesend offer no sale, no fee transparency.
  • Multi-Agency Confusion: More agents don’t always mean faster results - and could mean double commission.

Before signing, take the contract home, read it carefully, and ask questions.

Protect your peace of mind by working with an agent who values honesty, flexibility, and local expertise.
