Typical 1.7% total — no VAT added at contract · 2026 market data
Most comparison sites quote ex-VAT (e.g. "1.5%") and let the agent add 20% later. Ours is the all-in figure — what you'd see on the agent's invoice.
The typical estate agent fee in Feltham is quoted as a percentage of the final sale price. For a home selling at the Feltham average, the typical fee works out at around 1.7% — 0.28 percentage points above the UK sole-agency midpoint of 1.42% published by HomeOwners Alliance. Most UK towns sit above that midpoint, some below — 1.7% is where Feltham currently lands given local sale prices.
About VAT — read this if you're comparing sites: industry-wide, agents quote a fee ex-VAT and add 20% at contract stage. So what looks like "1.5%" on a competitor's site is actually 1.8% once VAT is added. On AgentSeeker, the percentage we show is a committed total — the agent signs up to charge 1.7% as their all-in fee, with no VAT added later. To compare apples-to-apples: take any competitor headline percentage, multiply by 1.2, and that's what you'll actually pay there.
Why the committed fee is binding. When you submit an enquiry through AgentSeeker and the agent accepts it, the Quoted Fee shown to you becomes the agency fee binding the agent in any sale agreement that follows — they cannot add VAT or any further charge on top at the point of instruction. You're entitled to enforce this directly against the agent under our terms (Section 6A) and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
A Feltham agent's fee typically covers: the property valuation, professional photography and a floorplan, listing on Rightmove / Zoopla / OnTheMarket, handling enquiries and viewings, offer negotiation, and progressing the sale through to completion. Extras sometimes charged separately include premium listing boosts, EPC arrangement, and For Sale board hire.
Fee bands vary by local sale prices and market competitiveness. Feltham's 1.7% is drawn from local Land Registry data; the UK midpoint reflects HomeOwners Alliance's published national sole-agency average.

If you sell your Feltham home entirely privately with no agent involved, there's no agent fee to pay. However, most Feltham 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.
