I Used to be an estate agent, with the agents they will sell the house for you and deal with all the solicitors etc etc Kepps you out of it all and try and make it as a easy move as possible, down side is they can take 2% of your final house sale price

With no agent you will have to sell the house and deal with all the solicitors your self can be very stress full indeed, if you feel confident doing it all then go for it and save your senn a few grand, but becareful as you could have anybody come vistit if you do it this way, with the agencys they will have the ppl on there books and know the position they are in, ie sold or they have not sold etc

Good luck
