Taking home off market...£200 + VAT

Yeah, but, they don't - thats all coulda woulda shoulda, this situation is nothing to do with the EA's request.

Its the OP who wants to back out of paying the EA for three years worth of effort.

£240 for three years, that £80 a year for all ads and calls, no matter how frequent.

The OP could have stopped after 6 months/year if they werent making progress, they didn't and now think it should be free.

Sorry, but I think the OP should pay up, the T&C would not be considered unfair given three years of effort.

They didn't guarantee to sell it at the inflated price you want, merely to market it which presumably they have. What you can afford to accept bears no relation to the current market value of your home, unfair as that may seem. You were professionally advised to drop the price and refused to do so, it's down to you the house has not sold not the agents.

They don't have to 'push' an overpriced property for a few hundred quid, they have to market it - make up leaflets, send them out to buyers, advertise in the window or newspaper. If you wanted the house in the paper more often than every eight weeks you should have specified at the outset.

I think you are being very unfair on OP. They stated that the EA suggested the initial selling price. The OP as you said was naive in not knowing what other houses were selling for nearby, therefore they were guided by the EA. TBF to the EA they marketed for a year at the original price before they asked the client to drop the price so they must have thought the original price was realistic if it took them a year to suggest a drop. The OP took the advice and dropped the price.

The OP should have been getting feedback from viewers via the EA and presumably the price wasn't an issue for 12 months so perhaps something else is i.e. downstairs bathroom, no parking, over looked garden etc.


OP you really need to question EA why the property hasn't sold. It's never just price, especially if as you say you are in the low end of the property market if £5k is a substantial drop in price.
