Buying or selling a property in the current market is a large undertaking and choosing Estate Agents in Peterborough can be overwhelming. There are plenty to pick from - do you choose a large corporate agent who have offices around the UK, or a local independent firm? Most of the big agents that get passing trade are based in Peterborough’s city centre on Cowgate. The reality is that most property searches take place online and buyers use the Right Move website to view properties before picking up the phone and arranging a physical viewing. That said, its well known that the bigger agents would charge more to sell your property than a local Peterborough independent. The bigger agents will claim they have the best marketing, advertise in the Evening Telegraph and various online websites… They also have the nice flashy office to boot, which is why you pay the higher fees! The local independent Estate Agents in Peterborough are now on a level playing field and are able to compete with the larger agents as most if not all property searches are done online, so taking advantage of their lower fees is a welcome bonus. People buy a house because they like it, not for the agent it’s listed with and as long as the smaller agent uses rightmove for all their listings as well as a few other sites like Prime Location, Find a Property etc, then you have as good a chance as going with the larger corporate estate agent. Sharman Quinney has several offices around Peterborough and acts and charges like a large corporate, whereas Property Line based on Lincoln Rd is cheaper, as efficient and lists their properties on all the major property websites too. There are several smaller companies you should try before signing on the dotted line and always try and use the one agent as you could pay 3% for multi agency.
