Just sold my now late mum's house in Bedford. Excellent agent gave us the number of the EPC people and told them we would be calling to book it. Fine, was about £100 I think, they came out a couple of days after listing.
Don't think we did much else other than provide bits the solicitor wanted (docs for an ancient extension, boiler service certs, etc).
Filled in property info form.
I think that was it.
They put it on Rightmove Monday morning, rang me at lunchtime and asked to take it off as they were overwhelmed with interest. We did offers in excess.
They did a viewing for everyone the following Saturday. On the Monday they called to say 36 viewings, 20 odd offers, four were clear cash buyers and they'd seen the cleared funds bank accounts.
We picked the best offer, sold for 20% over original listed price, which was tens of thousands extra.
So all in all, went well, luckily, with not a peep of argument from the buyer or their solicitor from beginning to end about a single thing.
Start to end, about ten weeks.
Edit: agent fee was 0.8% after a few moments haggle. Solicitor was about £1500.
