    What is the typical agent commission fee for buying property

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 12/28/2025
    For buying property directly from a developer in the primary off plan market you typically do not pay any agent commission as the developer pays the agency. However if you are buying a resale unit in the secondary market the standard agency fee is 2 percent of the property purchase price plus VAT. It is important to clarify this upfront. Using an experienced agent is crucial to navigate the transaction safely even if there is a fee involved for resale deals.
