At Moovingo, we charge a competitive fee of 0.8% ex VAT, which includes professional photography and comprehensive online and offline marketing. In Ireland, typical estate agent fees range between 1% and 2.5% ex VAT, and many agents may add extra marketing costs for items such as brochures, photography, and advertising.

The duties of an estate agent are regulated by the Property Services Regulatory Authority; however, the fees an agent charges are at their discretion and should be clearly outlined in the contract with the vendor.

While some smaller agents may negotiate, larger firms are less likely to do so due to strict policies. With Moovingo, our fee is designed to be rewarding for both the agent and the vendor—but if you’d like to discuss it, we’re happy to chat.

Estate agent fees in Ireland are required to include VAT, and the current VAT rate for agents is 23%.

The primary costs of selling a property include estate agent fees, legal fees, and any necessary repairs or staging expenses. With Moovingo, our agent fee is 0.8% ex VAT. We can also recommend solicitors and staging companies that offer competitive rates and high-quality service.

If we reach a sale agreed with a buyer and they pull out, we will aim to have buyers on standby or quickly re-list the property. If, however, you as the seller decide to withdraw once a sale is agreed, we generally expect our fee to be paid unless otherwise pre-agreed. For example, if you’re also looking to buy another property and cannot find one, you may decide to stay put for now. We’ll discuss these scenarios in advance and are happy to agree on terms that ensure you are not left out of pocket.

The timeframe varies based on property type, asking price, and desirability. For example, properties needing renovations may take longer due to renovation cost assessments and potential closing delays. Turnkey properties in sought-after areas, priced correctly, often go 'sale agreed' within 3-6 weeks, with closing occurring 8-12 weeks later.

Our agents play a vital role in the bidding process. Unlike other online bidding platforms, our agents actively manage the bidding. Offers are submitted via our website and are only visible to the agent and vendor. Once the agent verifies an offer, they will update the other parties and handle each subsequent bid in the same manner. This allows the agent to leverage their experience and strategy to achieve the best outcome for their clients. It reduces the risk of sales falling through and results in the best price for the client.
