    £50 is not too bad. We just had to fork out £150 to be released from our contract as well as give 28 days notice.

    I sympathize with the no shows, we had roughly 50% of viewers fail to turn up in the 3 months we were on the market (have since decided not to sell, in part due to this). There just seems to be far too much choice out there at the moment for buyers.
    Pattern here? Agent with cancellation fees and lots of no show viewers?

    The most anyone should give is a number of weeks exclusive agency and no cancellation fee.

    Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
    Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
    By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
    To dissolve the people
    And elect another?

    Sadly a typical Estate Agent. IMHO they're only useful for medical experimentation
