There are many factors to be considered when choosing the correct estate agent to handle the sale of your property. Here are some of the most important for you to consider:

Read carefully the terms and conditions of the contract before signing it.  Yes, you must read the small print and if you are not one hundred per cent sure that the terms are suitable for you, then seek professional advice.

Avoid committing yourself with an agency for a long period of time - known as the lock in period .  This will give you freedom to change agency if you are not convinced they are making a good job within a reasonable period of time.

Finally if you want to have some kind of guarantee that your chosen agent is accountable if things go wrong, then you should look for estates agents that belong to the OEA ( Ombudsman for Estates Agents ).  This should give you peace of mind if you need to complain and sought compensation if things don't work out as they should.

Once you have found potential agents follow these guidlines to ensure you are making the right choice:

• Do they advertise in the local newspapers on a regular basis?.
• Do they list their properties on websites such as Rightmove & Globrix property search engine and do they include full details of their properties.
• Is the office in a good location, with good window displays?
• Are their details produced in colour, with internal and external photos?
• How many buyers do they have registered that are looking for your type of property?
• Do they have similar properties they can show you to back up their valuation?
• Do they provide an opportunity for all of their sales staff to view your property?
• How often do they make contact with updates on viewings, marketing & keep in regular contact with you?
• Always check out their agency agreements - do they 'tie you in' to a 12 week lock in period agreement?.

Finally, Go with your instincts - if you feel that a particular agent would promote and sell your property better than the others then that could be the one to go for.
