If you want to avoid the headache of moving house and are prepared to pay someone else to do it for you, relocation agents are your answer. Typical tasks a relocation agent will do include:

  • Using an estate agent to sell your own property.
  • Finding suitable properties for you to view.
  • Raising the appropriate finance needed.
  • Dealing with paperwork.
  • Seeing the entire negotiation through.
For their work, they may charge around 1% to 1.5% (+VAT) of the purchase price of the house you are buying. Click here to get three quotes to compare using HouseWeb's free Service Centre.

Why Use a Relocation Agent?

The main factor is time-saving. You have to weigh up whether the cost of using a relocation agent is lower than the cost of your time spent selling and buying a house. If you are self-employed for example you may need to move but just don't have the time to go through the motions.

Relocation Agents will only accept commission on properties over a certain value (e.g. over £200,000) to make the jobs worthwhile. Also remember that the relocation agent's skill in finding appropriate properties for you to view relies heavily on the description you give them.
