Are these fair early surrender of tenancy fees?

Indeed and my point was that I paid these fees when I moved in and the new tenant will cover his fees when he/she moves in, so excessive costs in my opinion and a greedy Letting agent.
So just a letting agent then
Your right, they'll double dip.
But the LL should reign them in. It should've been clear, mr LL wants £1k to end the tenancy.
That's it. Listing a bunch of 'losses' is because they have no legal understanding.
LL should've just dealt with it himself.0 -
Maybe, maybe not.so excessive costs in my opinion and a greedy Letting agent.
You seem to forget one fine detail, though - you voluntarily signed a contract that still has ten months left to run, and which you want to cancel early.
You do not have to accept the figures. Your choice is to accept them - or to buy a cheap electric heater or two and let the contract run the course.0 -

I actually think it;s the letting agent who's being greedy! but you have given me a good idea, I have sent an email to the Letting Agent asking to reduce costs, but I may send a letter directly to the Landlord too, I think the Letting Agents are acting primarily for the own needs rather than the LL0 -

The money should all go to the LL. He/she may not even know this.0 -

I will indeed let the contract run if need be, that is there prerogative to charge whatever fees they like, as it is my prerogative to have a tidy flat and have it available to view during the lost two months. In the meantime I will be on the look out for a new flat to buy.0 -

Actually you are under no obligation to have a tidy flat and a limited obligation to allow viewings 0
