Are Peterborough agents more expensive than elsewhere?
We do not have reliable published data on Peterborough commission rates, so we use national ranges. Because fees are a percentage, they are lower in pounds here because Peterborough prices are 14% below the UK average.
Do I pay the fee if my home doesn't sell?
With most high-street agents, no — the fee is due on completion. Many online agents charge a fixed fee upfront or after a set period regardless of sale. Check the contract.
