Agent Type Side-by-Side
Agreement Type — Choose Carefully
Sole Agency: Only this agent can market. You still pay them if you find a private buyer yourself — unless you negotiate that out.
Watch for: "Ready, Willing & Able Purchaser" Clause
Some agent contracts make you liable for commission the moment they introduce a buyer who is ready, willing and able to purchase at the asking price — even if you pull out or the sale falls through. The OFT and Property Ombudsman flagged this as unfair. Strike it out or refuse the contract.
Quick Spain Selling Checklist
- • Get 3 valuations before committing to an agent
- • Check agent is registered with TPO or PRS (legal requirement)
- • Read tie-in period AND post-agreement "introduced buyer" window
- • Confirm commission is "no sale, no fee" (usually yes for traditional)
- • EPC valid for 10 years — check before paying again
- • Instruct conveyancer early; delays are the #1 reason chains collapse
