Same agent - different property - different branch

penthouse89

Hi All,

I've found a flat I like the look of, however it is in a different area to where I currently live, not too far, but covered by a different branch.

I currently share with a flatmate - we're now going our separate ways, however, we are both named on the AST for our flat.

Would another branch of the agency insist on re-referencing me and charging the whole array of fees that come with it (this agent is particularly expensive, the fees for this flat came to more than a full month's rent when VAT was added).

Would this be standard practice for a LA regardless of whether I live in one of their current properties or not?

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks
