for UK real estate agents: how much do you earn in terms of sales commission?

I work for a Spanish developing company with several apartments on sale in Tenerife, and we are considering the English real estate market. So, this is a question for estate agents in UK: how much the apartment/house.. owner must pay to the estate agency/agent in terms of sales commission? Please answer in terms of % of the sales price. By the way, another question, for any one in general: I'd be very grateful to have a list of advertising webs in the UK which are completely free when placing an ad.

1. If you scan a number of estate agency websites you can easily find the answer. It is usually between 1% and 3%.
2. how much do you earn ?
3. Its normally and arm and a leg.
4. Spanish property prices have collapsed .. ... and as far as most Brit's are concerned, the Spanish market is full of scam artists, crooks and illegal builds with developers going bust left right & center (and taking deposits with them) .. You couldn't give away a Spanish holiday home to a Brit these days ..
5. I agree with SteveB, not only the spanish property but Portuguese also. The "brit abroad" has been targeted by rogues in both these countries, unfortunately most of them are Brits themselves.
