Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my property myself if I am already with an estate agent?
This depends on your contract with your estate agent which can be one of the following:
1. 'Sole selling' means your estate agent is the only one with the right to sell your house. Even if you find a buyer yourself, you'll still have to pay the agent.
2. 'Sole agency' also means the estate agent is the only one with the right to sell your house but if you find a buyer yourself, you won't have to pay the agent.
3. 'Multi agency' means that you can choose several estate agents to market your house but you will only have to pay commission to the one who sells it.
4. 'Ready, willing and able purchaser' is a contract. If the estate agent finds you a buyer and you later withdraw from the sale, you'll still have to pay them.
Ultimove is not an estate agent, and your contract is either 2,3 or 4, and as an estate agent does not provide any legal service to sell your property, then you can still use our services and sell your property privately.
If you do find that your contract is 1 (Sole Selling) and you wish to use one of our services, then check with the estate agent the termination period of the contract and set-up one of the other types of contract if you wish to use both an estate agent and Ultimove or even just Ultimove.
