Ending EA contract early
Comments
-
[1] If the new offer is not high enough to cover 2 sets of EA fees, then it is not worth considering. And if it is high enough, then what is the problem with paying a second set of fees?No, the situation is that my property is sold. However, someone who viewed it with a previous EA wants to make a higher offer. He never made any offer with a previous EA so he can only go through one of the current EAs. I've said no but the new potential buyer has upped his offer by a huge amount as he's really keen to buy. [1] I basically don't want to pay two EA fees and don't want to get into a legal mess. [2] The current EA says it should not be an issue as the contract with the previous EA is null and void due to it having ended early by mutual consent. I'm not 100% sure, hence why i'm asking.
[2] EA wants his commission and will tell you anything - I am assuming you are sold with another agent. Personally, if I accepted the offer, I would in writing instruct the agent to accept and tell him that the acceptance was on the basis of his advice and ask him to confirm in writing.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
