PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Perhaps the Citizens Advice Bureau might help?
You cannot be expected to know about Ts&Cs that you were not made aware of. Are they a member of ARLA?Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. - Jefferson0 -
You could go to the library and look at the Which? guide to writing letters of complaint. You could subscribe to Which? magazine and get free phone advice from their lawyers. Some credit cards have a free legal advice line too I think. Try a good letter to the MD then get some advice before trying the small claims court.0

Go to the nearest nightclub and ask the biggest bouncer 'want to earn £100 quid for 14 seconds work mate?'

Sorry to heard that, Yes, Estate agents are scum.
I would not let it rest, and would try everything
possible to get my money back.
I think you have a case.
Point of Law: Estate Agents must use clear contract terms.
Port of calls should be:
Citizens Advice Bureau.
Local authority’s trading standards department.
Ombudsman for Estate Agents (OEA)
The National Association of Estate Agents.
(they might not be members)
Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.
(they might not be members)
Small claims Court.
Don't let them get away with it.0
