IRPM - I am thinking of joining but there is almost no information regarding the study commitment. I have been advised by IRPM I must pay £129 membership, £75 Admin, £380 for the Membership exam, £195 for the Membership exam workshop. There is no syllabus, no study materials, no advice on the time commitment that may be necessary or to advise the areas that will be tested. I have 10 years experience in the industry both management and accounting and I would like to take this step but £800 for entry to a membership without any information seems a bit steep. Does anyone have any advice? Is this as unreasonable as it sounds?

The IRPM is the Institute for Residential Property Management. "2 Qs OP could have determined before seeking advice of this Forum." Sadly this doesn't enlighten at all. What is the study commitment? What knowledge of what areas are examined in the exam? Where can I get a "syllabus" so that I can revise and make certain my investment pays off. What benefits have you derived?Comment

I've never heard of the organisation, and (consequently) don't see any advantage in being a member.When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).Comment

I wonder if agent might reconsider the increase, if you tell him you intend to sack him in view of the increased fees?

Hi, just wanted to ask what action I can take if my letting agent has been delaying sending us the contract. I have paid the holding deposit and been promised the contract since April but so far have not received anything, not even the draft contract.

Ask the agent for a copy of their complaints procedure and if following their procedure yields no response raise it with the redress scheme the agent is attached to. Re holding deposit what does the Holding Deposit Agreement (HDA) / Reservation Agreement state?16-06-2019, 15:06 PM

Hi, brand new to this site; I have a flat that I have rented via a letting agent for 6 years but I am now retired and have got the time (and newly acquired DIY skills) to look after the flat myself. But in the "Termination" section of my contract with the letting agent it states "The...15-06-2019, 10:46 AM

Reply to Definition of "Vacating"Have they failed to do something so that you could treat their actions, or lack of actions as a repudiatory breach of contract?16-06-2019, 00:12 AM

Reply to Definition of "Vacating"In the context of the wording "vacating" has to mean "leaving with the intention of never returning".
However, whilst I am unable to quote any authority to support the view, I consider the provision void or unenforceable. I think a contract for services has to be such...15-06-2019, 15:38 PM -
