Best Estate Agents in Deptford (2026)

Ranked by fee transparency, sale time and asking-price achievement

How we rank the best estate agents in Deptford

Every estate agent on AgentSeeker's Deptford rankings is assessed on three pillars — the same three that actually affect your sale outcome, not the reviews and awards that often fill competitor rankings.

  1. Asking-price achievement — the ratio of sold price to original asking price across each agent's recent Deptford transactions. Higher is better; 97%+ is the national benchmark we score against.
  2. Average sale time — days from listing to completion on the agent's recent instructions. Faster is better, with the local average days being the typical Deptford pace.
  3. Committed fee transparency — agents who publish a locked-in fee upfront rank higher than those who quote a range and negotiate later. In Deptford, the typical fee sits around 1.7% as a committed total (no VAT added on top).

We pull performance data from Land Registry, PropertyData and our own transaction records — not marketing claims.

To pick the right estate agent in Deptford, look at three things: achieved-vs-asking ratio, average sale time, and committed fee — not just reviews or brand.

Do I have to pay estate agent fees if I sell privately in Deptford?

If you sell your Deptford home entirely privately with no agent involved, there's no agent fee to pay. However, most Deptford agents operate on a 'sole agency' or 'multi-agency' contract — and if a buyer originally introduced by the agent completes, the fee is still due even if you handle the final negotiation yourself. Always check the contract before signing. Compare committed-fee Deptford agents on AgentSeeker. committed-fee Deptford agents.

What percentage do most estate agents charge in Deptford?

Most estate agents in Deptford charge between 1.4% to 2.0% of the final sale price, with the typical Deptford agent landing around 1.7%. On AgentSeeker, that percentage is the total fee you pay — agents don't add VAT on top at contract stage, which is unusual in the industry and is our core transparency promise.
