I think in Dolores` case, the agent is trying to do it because they are about to lose their client: the old “You can`t keep the tenant we found” routine won`t really last after six years, so they`re trying to cover the other end by taking the tenant prematurely under contract to a new contract. Where is the obligation to pay a tax? In the new agreement, which has not yet been concluded, no royalties are due. As Ray says, talk to the organ grinder, not the monkey! Sir, I would like to reject your view that “London-based foxtons receive only 10.8% of VAT included for extensions. See below the fees I have been listed at 20.4% for extensions and 12% for current fees thereafter. I have never known Foxton`s fees be too low, as you suggest, in the 10 years that I have been unhappy enough to deal with them. Should the legal one-period lease be free? The agreement I signed was only FIND the tenant. That`s why this agent doesn`t do anything. They do not manage the property or care about it in any way. I have my own maintenance officers who take care of the property. The tenant pays the rent directly to me, according to the contract. 1. The landlord is free to increase the rent by any amount. There is no law that sets the level of annual migration that can take place at a ceiling level.
It doesn`t make sense to pay brokers overtime. Some landlords find rental fees unfair. This is usually due to the fact that the Agency does not really find another tenant. In addition, it is considered that a large part of the new lease will be a “copy and paste” on the basis of the old lease. In addition, there are rule changes and updates each year. The lease should therefore be updated as such. The Foxton case below raises the question of whether landlords can recover rental fees they had already paid to their landlord. In many cases, the owners had no idea what they were paying for or that these fees were totally avoidable. More to my mail up there regarding TAXE and holding an annual fee for the contract to go on a periodic trend.
No rent increase, no new contracts needed. I thought you might all be interested, I refused to pay and I was caught too many small claims. I passed the process and got all my papers ready to sort legal advice (albeit online) citizens advice (who said they can`t ask you to do nothing) etc. and was ready to fight my corner and last minute dropped the case. The more I read and read the contract, the more ridiculous it was to pay them year after year to do nothing. I argued with them why I would pay them a “commission” of several years if they could not guarantee that my tent would stay for a year. She could at any time end a notice period of several months because she/I had not signed a new contract. They got angry and I wouldn`t reuse them, which is a shame they found me three good tenants. Their loss, since they threw away all the recovery stuff, I would have given them to be greedy.
And for all your hasser owners out there, I want to emphasize that not all owners are scum. I have owned my apartment since the year 2000, which I brought back with inheritance, when my mother died, and hard work that saved on a low income.
