Before you sign with an estate agent, look closely at the tie-in period.
If you’re being locked in for much longer than 8–12 weeks, it’s worth asking why. A reasonable tie-in gives the agent time to market your property properly. But a long lock-in can leave you stuck if the price needs correcting later, or the plan isn’t delivering.
The contract matters just as much as the valuation.
