How do you choose your agent?

In this short article we look at how people choose their Estate Agent

  • Capability and market knowledge top the list of how prospective home buyers choose their agent according to results of the 2020 Property Academy Home Moving Trends Survey analysed by Dataloft.
  • Confidence in ability was rated by more homemovers than any other single quality and far outweighed the 19% who included 'lowest fee' in their top 5.
  • ‘Liked and trusted’ (69%) and ‘handled similar properties’ (59%) complete the top 5 which remain consistent across all different age groups.
  • Younger buyers, aged up to 34, were more likely however to include portals, fees and ratings in their top 5 choices. Source: Dataloft, Property Academy Home Moving Trends Survey 2020, % of respondents

Over the past 25 years, UK house prices have surged, though growth has varied by region. From London’s 279% rise to Scotland’s 201%, the figures highlight both national trends and regional differences. For towns like Attleborough, this long-term growth story offers context for smarter property decisions.

Bungalows aren’t built equal across the UK—sizes swing widely. Northern Ireland tops the list at 1,170 sq.ft, while Yorkshire & the Humber trails at 875 sq.ft, a 34% gap. When downsizing, would you trade your location for extra room?

Choosing the wrong estate agent doesn’t just cost you money — it can cost you your move. Overpromising and underdelivering leads to silence, missed opportunities, and your dream home slipping away. Don’t fall for flattery. Choose honesty, strategy, and experience — because the wrong agent can ruin everything.
