How we got these numbers
Derived from UK House Price Index property-type ratios (HM Land Registry + ONS) applied to local average price. Figures vary by street, condition, and the agent you choose.
Approximate area averages, latest 12-month reporting period. For the exact sold-price evidence on your specific street, ValuQ’s local agents pull Land Registry comparables from your postcode sector when they value your property.
Why compare Richmond estate agents?
Choosing the wrong agent can cost tens of thousands of pounds. A weak valuation means the property sits and gets chipped. A weak marketing package means fewer viewings and softer offers. A long tie-in contract means you're stuck with a bad choice for months.
The only reliable way to avoid this is to compare — valuation side by side, fees side by side, and the agent's recent sold evidence side by side. ValuQ makes this automatic: local Richmond agents see an anonymised profile of your property and submit their best valuation and fee structure blind. You pick who to speak to — or no one at all.

Six things to compare on every Richmond agent
Valuation alone is the wrong benchmark. Compare all six and you'll know who to sign with.
Valuation accuracy
Does their figure stack up against recent comparable sales in your specific postcode? Good agents show you the evidence.
Tip: Beware of the highest valuation — it often leads to a price drop 4–6 weeks in.
Local sold history
How many properties has each agent actually sold on your street or adjacent streets in the last 6 months?
Tip: Check Rightmove's 'sold by' data — active local agents will have a visible footprint.
Marketing quality
Professional photography, accurate floor plans, strong listing copy, and featured portal placement make a measurable difference to enquiries.
Tip: Ask to see 3 recent listings on Rightmove and Zoopla — not a portfolio page.
Fee structure and contract
Full fee including VAT, tie-in period, notice period, what's included (photography, viewings, sale progression).
Tip: A 0.5% difference on a £500k home is £2,500 — but what's included matters just as much.
Communication and responsiveness
The most common complaint from sellers is poor communication. Test it before you sign — how quickly does each agent reply to your initial enquiry?
Tip: Response time on day one is a reliable indicator of how they'll handle the sale.
Average time to offer
How long do their properties typically sit before going under offer? Fast averages usually mean accurate pricing and strong buyer networks.
Tip: Agents will share this if asked — the good ones volunteer it unprompted.
Typical Richmond estate agent fees
Sole agency (traditional high-street)
Typically 1% to 2% of the final sale price plus VAT. On a £750,000 Richmondproperty, that's roughly 1%–2% of the headline figure plus 20% VAT on the fee. What's included varies — always ask about photography, floor plans, accompanied viewings, and sale progression.
Multi-agency
Typically 2% to 3% plus VAT. Higher fee but paid only to the agent that sells — useful in slower markets or where you want maximum exposure. Check notice and tie-in clauses carefully.
Online / hybrid
Fixed fees from £500 to £2,500, often payable upfront regardless of whether the property sells. Cheaper on paper but check what's included — accompanied viewings and sale progression are often extras.
