Ranked by fee transparency, sale time and asking-price achievement
Every estate agent on AgentSeeker's Eltham 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.
We pull performance data from Land Registry, PropertyData and our own transaction records — not marketing claims.

Most estate agents in Eltham charge between 1.2% to 1.7% of the final sale price, with the typical Eltham agent landing around 1.4%. 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. These bands draw on Land Registry sold-price data and industry research from HomeOwners Alliance, Which? and Compare My Move. see verified Eltham fees.
If you sell your Eltham home entirely privately with no agent involved, there's no agent fee to pay. However, most Eltham 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 Eltham agents on AgentSeeker. committed-fee Eltham agents.
