More Choice, More Control When Selling in 2026
Introducing our three flexible selling options â including a brand-new 50/50 split model
Weâre excited to kick off 2026 with some fantastic news not just about the property market, but about how we continue to give our clients real choice when selling their home.
Introducing Our 3 Flexible Selling Options for 2026
From the very beginning, weâve done things differently â and that hasnât changed. This year, weâre proud to offer a third option, all designed around fairness, flexibility, and confidence.
The options are based around our â247â numbers. And importantly, you can change your mind at any point during your journey.
2. Classic â Our Original, Groundbreaking Model
This is how we started â and itâs what sets us apart.
Our buyer-focused fee model is designed to:
-
Encourage stronger buyer commitment
-
Reduce wasted viewings and fall-throughs
-
Align everyoneâs interests from the outset
Itâs our original and proven approach, and one weâre still incredibly proud of.
4. Switch â The Traditional Approach
This is the traditional model used by most estate agents, where the seller pays the fee on completion.
While itâs not how we started, we believe in giving our clients choice.
The Switch option allows you to opt for the more familiar route â supported by our expertise, marketing, and service â because no two sellers are the same.
