Compare the service, not just the price.
Your Sale Pack is self-serve. You find buyers, place adverts and manage enquiries and negotiations. A broker may handle those tasks for you.
Solicitor and accountant fees are separate on both routes. Broker advertising charges, minimum fees and other costs depend on the quote. The illustration adds upfront and completion fees together, assuming neither is credited against the other.
VAT is illustrated at 20% on broker fees. Your £495 pack price carries no VAT. The six-month portal example totals £1,896.60. Prices for other durations are not shown.
Valuation and document generation are not live yet. Legal templates require approval before use, and your solicitor should review the drafts before you sign.
