Let’s keep this nice and easy to understand-
If you advertise your property with both thishome4u and an Estate Agent, and lets say it is sold via your property being advertised on thishome4u, you will not need to pay the Estate Agent any commission. We reference this to what The Office of Fair Trading state in their guide "Using an estate agent to sell your home", here’s what it say’s:-
"Sole agency: The estate agent you appoint is the only agent with the right to sell your property. As you are not an agent, if you find a buyer yourself you don't have to pay the estate agent's commission."
ThisHome4u is a purely a publisher and does not act as an Estate Agent, by placing your advert with this home4u means that you are selling it yourself, as buyers approach you directly and not thishome4u.
Action: Check the estate agent's contract to make sure they haven't specified a clause saying "sole selling rights" rather than "sole agent right". In this case you would still have to pay the agent commission even if you sold it yourself.
