The Office Of Fair Trading And Estate Agents The Office Of Fair Trading has recently issued guidelines regarding fees payable to sole agents if a vendor sells the property through a property website. If a vendor has a "sole agency" agreement with a high street estate agent, he or she can sell the property himself to a person not introduced by this agent and not have to pay the agent his fee. However, if the property is sold via another "estate agent", then the vendor would have to pay two sets of fees. The Office Of Fair Trading has discovered that many internet property retailers claim not to be estate agents but are, in the OFT's view, doing estate agency work. In effect, they are estate agents. Hence, a high street agent would be able to claim his fee if a property was sold via such an internet property retailer, but not if sold via one not carrying out estate agency work. Barns Etc does not fall within the legal definition of an estate agent and does not carry out estate agency work. Specifically: We do not offer for sale boards We do not send out property particulars or arrange viewings We do not receive queries from potential sellers or buyers and pass on details to our clients With Barns Etc you pay a one-off listing fee until your property has sold or is withdrawn from the market. There is nothing more to pay. Interested parties will then contact the vendor (or the vendor's agent if their details are listed) directly. For more details concerning sole agency agreements please see trhe Office Of Fair Trading's website. |
