    Sole Agent Query

    Hi all,

    I signed terms and conditions with an estate agent that I would use them as the sole agent for 8 weeks. They don't seem to be getting as much interest as I had hoped (I have dropped the price).
    I know I break the terms if I use another estate agent so that is not an option- but does anyone know if I can can advertise the flat myself too and not break the terms? I.e. can I put it on gumtree, spareroom, openrent websites?

    Many thanks,
    Anna

    Only the terms and conditions that you signed will be able to tell you that. Have a read of them again and see.

      Thank you, yes you are right it says I can only use the one agent for 8 weeks.

        yep... you'll just have to suck that up and put it down to experience. Best not to do that in future.

        • Agent check-in vs check-out reports - format and level of detail
          Tungsten
          Hi,

          When a agent compiles a check out report/inventory, should it usually follow the same format and level of detail as the initial check in?

          Good practice examples online state something along these lines:
          "The inventory report is a document, accompanied with digital...

          Nobody is bound by the RICS code, although parts of it that use the word "must" are generally restatements of statute law which people are bound by. The RICS code has a similar status to The Highway Code.

          RTMs are not bound by the ARHM code unless something in the lease requires...

          My most recent ex-agent moved in a family without asking how many there were in the household. They said they didn't think it was relevant. They told me it was a couple when in fact it was a family of five. I haven't taken action against them (seeing what happens with deposit deductions first), but...

          While I agree with the logic and always protect my own deposits, many landlords wouldn't have a clue and rely on the agent to do everything for them.


          While asking questions is usually a sensible start point, one of the things the agent is meant to bring to the table is some expertise...

          You give the deposit to the landlord to protect (with appropriate invoicing etc.).

          If you are protecting deposits on the landlord's behalf (unless they absolutely insist you do that) I would never use your agency. It is entirtely inappropriate fotr agents tpo do the protecting -- guiding...

          If it is not too late, please edit out the name of the "management company", otherwise a moderator, e.g. Moderator2 will need to do it.

          The company mentioned is normally associated with retirement developments; is that the case here?

          I think you also need to step...
