Why Do Estate Agent Fees Differ and What Are You Paying For?
Why Estate Agent Fees Differ – and What You’re Really Paying For One of the most common questions I’m asked is simple: “Why do estate agent fees vary so much?”
I co-founded Greater London Properties in 2003 in an area we genuinely love. From the very beginning, we set out to build a business that felt personal, accountable, and grounded in strong relationships. GLP has always been a family business, and our core values aren’t marketing phrases — they guide how we work every day.

After 13 years working in Central London lettings, I’ve seen the same situation play out time and time again. A property isn’t getting traction, enquiries are slow, and the first suggestion on the table is almost always the same: “Let’s reduce the rent.” Now, price absolutely matters — but it’s very rarely the whole story.
As a landlord, understanding your letting agent's Terms of Business is absolutely crucial. This document outlines the entire relationship, from fees to responsibilities. It's important to scrutinise the key areas before signing on the dotted line.
The local property market remains active — but it’s more considered than it was a few years ago. Homeowners across Dulwich and Herne Hill are weighing up a mix of wider market uncertainty, affordability-conscious buyers, and very local factors that can influence both timing and price.
However, there is plenty going on in our area. I thought I’d share a few ideas for you and your families – some are right on our doorstep and some a little further afield.
Searching for the right home can be overwhelming. Use this practical checklist to stay organised, confident and ready to act when the right property appears.
Not every home that goes on the market ends up sold but knowing the reasons why can be the difference between “listed” and “sold”.
With Easter just around the corner, now is a strategic moment to prepare your home for market, before buyer demand peaks and properties move fastest.
