This is a conversation we have most weeks. Usually it starts with: “Why wouldn’t I just go with the cheaper, fixed fee option?” And on the surface, it’s a fair question but like most things in property, the detail matters — and this is one area where a small misunderstanding can end up costing a lot of money. Let’s break it down properly.

Moving home is exciting, but let’s be honest, it can also be stressful. There are lots of people involved. Buyers, sellers, solicitors, mortgage lenders, surveyors, removal companies, local authorities, and sometimes several other buyers and sellers further up or down a chain.

Every now and then, a sale comes along that reminds us why preparation, teamwork and clear communication matter so much. This one was a really lovely example. 15 days from offer accepted to exchange. That is the quickest exchange we have achieved so far through Campbells, and we are incredibly proud of everyone involved.

Let’s be honest — no one wants to spend more than they have to when selling their property. But when it comes to estate agents, “cheaper” doesn’t always mean better. In fact, it often means riskier, slower, and in many cases — more expensive in the long run.
