Many people feel that 'High Street' estate agents are very expensive, typically charging sole agency commission rates of around 2% + VAT, so using one to sell an 'average' £200,000 property will mean writing out a cheque for £4,700.

We offer a high quality estate agency service at an extremely attractive price - saving our clients thousands of pounds.

Although we do not have a high street office we offer the complete agency service; advertising, viewings, negotiation, sales progression and all other activities carried out by an established agent. 

We are members of the Independent Network of Estate Agents (INEA) a group of agents working together to achieve better results for clients. By instructing one INEA agent, your property can be made fully available to all other INEA member's offices (currently 200+ members). This means that when you instruct Edward Ellis & Co your property details will be seen in multiple locations and on many specialist internet property portals - all the benefits of multi-agency whilst dealing with just one agent.

Our innovative approach to estate agency means that we can keep our costs down and pass these savings on to you. 

As a result of slashing our overheads, we can offer our clients the following services:-

*1.5% Sole Agency + INEA

Excellent Value. Our 1% sole agency and 1.5% sole agency + INEA rates will save you thousands of pounds.

Massive Marketing Exposure. Your property will be advertised on various internet property portals, our partner agents* and on our website.

We Are Independent. We act on your behalf at all times.

Accurate Valuation Advice. We don’t just ‘guess’ property values - we carry out advanced research into the value of your property using both historic sale prices from the Land Registry and also current market data.

Additional Services. We can save you both time and money on your mortgage and legal arrangements.

What is a HIP?

As a result of recent legislation a HIP now only needs to consist of an Energy Performance Certificate.

What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?

Vendors of residential property in England & Wales, and the estate agents acting on their behalf in marketing the property, are required to provide prospective buyers with a copy of a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

This document can only be produced by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor. The EPC provides detailed analysis about the energy efficiency of the property, along with information about its CO₂ impact. It also contains information regarding improvements and measures that could be taken to improve the energy efficiency of the property. The EPC contains coloured energy information graphs, rather like those found on the front on new fridges and other domestic appliances.

Domestic Energy Assessors will award the property an energy rating based on current energy performance together with the potential rating the property could achieve if it were to be improved to current best standards. More information about EPC graphs is given below.

Free energy efficiency report

To find out how energy efficient your home is, the Energy Saving Trust can provide you with a free, personalised report showing you how much energy and money you can save in your home. It has been shown that an average household could save up to £300 per year on energy bills and reduce around two tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions by making energy improvements.

Please note that the report from the Energy Saving Trust is NOT an EPC. Results may differ from the actual rating given to your home by a Domestic Energy Assessor.
