Yes, 100 without hearing and 255 with hearing. If the LA was found to be abusing the process, the court can impose sanctions including asking them to pay all legal costs -
What about the Ombudsman?
Is your agent managing the property, in which case it is petty to charge you for a renewal fee.

Does n't that cost money?

I personally would defend the claim. Also, make sure that the agent serves you at your address abroad unless you would like to be served in the UK. If they deliberately serve you in the UK, you can apply for a strike-out of the case.Leave a comment:

Hi, what is the amount of monies disputed? You could use mediation and could bring the case up.
And if they still insist then pay and break contract with them as it would be cheaper than pay for solicitors.Leave a comment:

Its against forum rules to recommend solicitors, but I wouldn't have thought you would need a specialist housing solicitor in this case as its essentially a contract issue between you and the agent.
Are your agents aware of this case?: https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/foxtons...umer-landlordsLeave a comment:

LAgents taking Landlord to small claims. Can anyone recommend a solicitor?
Hi, my Agent is taking me to small claims for not paying renewal fee upfront.
I refuse as my tenants have changed to a new rolling monthly contract.
I'm not in the UK and hoping for some legal advice and/or representation.
Can anyone recommend a solicitor or firm that might be able to help.
Thanks.

Hello all,
I wondered if anyone could give me some advice please.
Tenants who have been renting my one bed flat for the past three years have just given notice that they will be moving out. I have used a local agent on a ‘let & rent collection’ basis which has worked well but they...20-06-2022, 20:07 PM -
Reply to Agent vs Open RentViewings booked in for this week, I picked my favourite five applicants and called them for a chat (suss them out). All sound like they could be good potential tenants, I will see how the viewings go

Hello, I’ve taken on an agent on the basis that they will find me a tenant, reference them, prepare the contract, do check in inventory, register deposit etc etc and once all completed hand me the reigns to collect rent and manage the property myself
Initially we discussed a one off...05-07-2022, 16:43 PM -
Absolutely not! That used to be the norm. I do not know what the norm is now. Whatever it is, you asked for a one off finder's fee and the agent has given you a "gift which keeps on giving" contract. Do not sign up. Find another agent and tell him not to pull the same trick....05-07-2022, 19:06 PM

In the days when I used a tenant find service I made a one off payment. After they found me the tenant from hell I now use openrent so I get to interview and choose my own tenants. I would never use a tenant find service now, they have every incentive to get you the first person who walks through the...05-07-2022, 18:08 PM

Hi All
I have recently discovered my estate agent has been lying to me.
My last tenant caused significant damage to my house (unintentionally). My estate agent advised a significant refurbished to be able to increase the income. I eventually went with this option and was advised...13-06-2022, 22:09 PM -
It is not clear why you are using an estate agent as a construction project manager.

I did not know this, thank you. I may do this the next time a new tenant moves in.
And then it's a simple case of advertising the flat on property websites I'd assume? And how would I go about doing a reference check for the new tenant?...30-06-2022, 04:24 AM -
Hi,
I was wondering if any of you know any good letting agents in Bristol. I only need them with write an AST and find the tenants. Previously I've used CJ Hole, but their fees have since gone up to 45% + VAT of one month's rent. Wondering if there's anything a little cheaper.
