Find your best local estate agent Start here
Selling your home can be expensive and stressful so you need to know you’ve got the right agent fighting your corner. The HomeOwners Alliance Best Estate Agent Finder brings you a tool that allows you to compare local estate agents and find the best one for you.
Our Best Estate Agent Finder tool allows you to compare:
Here is an example of what the results you’ll get:
Our complex statistical engine run by Best Estate Agent Finder is fed on a daily basis with property data from over 18,000 estate agents across thousands of different websites to provide accurate comparison data. We currently cover over 95% of all property advertised for sale in England & Wales. See below for more details.
We currently compare estate agents in England and Wales and have plans to expand the service to include Scotland and Northern Ireland shortly. We currently have over 95% of estate agents represented on our comparison results.
To appear in our comparison results an estate agent must have a minimum of 2% of the local market share in the area of your property postcode. Estate agents are ranked according to the data column you choose to sort by. The top 50% of agents are displayed in the column.
There’s no cost to use our website – it’s completely free with no obligation.
Once you’ve entered your details we can show you the best agents in your local area.

Now that you know how it all works, why not compare estate agents where you live?
No. In our experience most estate agents are prepared to negotiate on contract terms. See our guide on Estate Agent Contracts and What to Watch For
There’s no fee for using Best Estate Agent Finder. Your chosen estate agent should tell you about the fees you’ll need to pay when marketing your property through them. You should check with the agents you approach – and negotiate!
There’s no fee for using Best Estate Agent Finder and most agents don’t charge an upfront fee. If you don’t already have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for your property, you may need to pay for this upfront. And online estate agents can ask for a fee up-front. Every agency is different so check.
Most estate agents will charge you a pre-agreed marketing fee on completion of your sale.
Most estate agents will not charge you a fee if your property doesn’t sell. But again, you’ll need to read carefully the small print of your contract
Yes. Through Best Estate Agent Finder you can find, compare, contact and then go on to instruct multiple estate agents and request multiple property valuations. Some estate agents would also be willing to market your property jointly with one or more estate agents but you may pay more commission.
This will depend on the estate agent you choose. You should talk to your chosen estate agent to establish what they intend to do and ensure it meets your expectations.
You should check the contract with your estate agent carefully before you sign so you know what the implications are in case of this event.
The estate agent profile column within our comparison table shows the average property price marketed by that estate agent. This gives you a guide to houses sold in a similar price range.
