There's been posts on this before, but times change, and people move on so I'm looking for some recent opinions on the local estate agents.
Particularly interested in those who've had good or bad experience selling, but also interested in buyer's experiences and renters.
Has anyone used King's, Anthony Pepe, Winkworth, Paul Simon, Hanes, Ellis and Co, Bairstow Eves, Castles?
Also interested if people have used PurpleBricks or any other online estate agent to sell....
I've had poor experiences of Anthony Pepe (renting) and Paul Simon (when trying to buy) so I'm against using them.

I'd go for Paul Simon. They treat buyers like crap so obviously that's what you want, right?
I noticed that a place near me on Purple Bricks is now with Winkworth. Steve at Castles is definitely worth talking to and Elan at Winkworth is pretty generous with school fairs and local events so also worth a plug on here.

Tempting! But I'd rather not encourage them.
Thanks for the other recommendations.
3% is if you list with more than one. Pretty sure you can get 1.5% if you have a sole agency representing you.
They're certainly interesting. I don't mind having to show people round myself for reduced fees. In fact, many buyers prefer this as they can get more accurate information about the property that way.
However, the online EA's websites (I've tried purplebricks, house simple) are frustrating to use. You have to book out day slots, and then a random time is allocated for the agent to turn up. It's not simple to negotiate a mutually agreeable time. They sign you up for conveyancing quotes without permission. All of these things contribute to a poor user experience.
Have had good experience using Anthony Pepe - insist on Ben representing you.
You could also try Brickworks, they are independent and local.

The ethical estate agent - giving 2.5% of their fees to a homeless charity. This is admirable. I am intrigued.
Have you used them?
No but my bro in law did. They seem like nice people and are local parents.
Local parents are the worst! Filling up the local schools with their progeny, driving up house prices, moving here from Crouch End. Just the worst.
