No Tim theere is a massive difference between "at cost" and "reasonable" and its plainly wrong.

Any one asserting that to an agent " you can only charge at cost" would be laughed at.

Moreover it also explained where the rights extend from so that they can be quoted when arguing the toss over costs....


Worth posting.

Well you should have been clearer.

I though that you were replacing excessive with (not) reasonable.

Windsorcastle,
I can see your point about not wanting to cause delay. We just see the cost to the MA as a necessary evil. We are also extending the lease at the same time with them so we have incurred all sorts of ' admin' costs.
In regards to not delaying the transaction I would recommend paying the MA directly if you can instead of the usual cheque from your solicitor this should save you a couple of weeks waiting time. I followed this excellent piece of advice from an earlier thread.

Once you sell and you are in your new place the whole process will be but a distant memory.
In my opinion you have done the right thing by just moving on and swallowing the extra cost.
Good luck with your sale.

So your assumption was the problem, I was quite clear

Well no thats wrong Tim the legal obligation under Sch 11 CLRA 2002 is that they are reasonable

Reasonable did not say nor imply "excessive":rotfl:
