Thats the strange thing you see for the english, we dont buy property by sending the money through a agent it is done through our own solicitor, the agent is paid by the sellers solicitor when the solicitor receives the money from the buyer, then pays the agent the agreed fee 1-3%. So it suprises me when my fellow english buy through an agent as this method is not normal for us.
