Hi All,
I would like your advice on the following.
I own a property that has been rented to tenants for 1 yr, they are keeping on the property for a second year. Good news.
Originally it was advertised through a well known estate agent, the estate agent wants to charge us a fee for drawing up the new contracts for yr 2. They dont provide an official management service, but have worked as a middle man on occasion contacting tenants on our behalf.
What am I paying the fee for, is it purely for the paperwork to draw up new contracts, would I just be better drawing up contracts myself and getting tenants to sign? Can I challenge the estate agent on how much they wish to charge , 200 euro for re drawing of contracts?
any advice appreciated.
