Country Properties fee's were on par with most of the estate agents in WGC, I should know I meet at least 6! Whilst their fee's were not cheaper, the value and expertise you get with CP is second to none!

The agent fee structure is pretty consistent with what I've found elsewhere. I have opted for the managed service. Even if I found another agent who quoted cheaper prices I wouldn't move as I doubt they could match the service of Country Properties.
