Do you know how much of the increase is insurance and how much is the reserve contribution? The distinction matters. A temporary reserve catch-up with a stated purpose and end point is different from a permanently higher operating budget.

Put the proposals into one table and send each agent the same gaps to complete. Include the fee at €713,000, photography deliverables, enquiry response commitment, qualification questions, viewing contact, offer procedure, post-offer coordinator, extra charges and conflict disclosure. Then...
