Hi hoping someone can offer some advice?
Connells have taken £180 from my mum once she signed contract For them to market the property.
Can anyone tell me exactly what this £180 is for and whether or not it is refundable if mum cancels?
Thank you

No.
But there might be a clue in the contract your mother signed.
Just a thought.:)0 -

Yes the answers will be in the very lengthy contract, but it's with her 100 miles away. She is elderly and I'm very concerned after having a very distressed phone call from her!
I thought someone on here may have paid connells this £180 and understand what it is for??0 -
It might be for an EPC, although £180 seems a bit steep for that.0

some estate agents charge for the EPC (£60) some charge for professional photographs - maybe it is a combination of those0

A Premium Marketing package with Connells costs up-to £149 + VAT = £178.80
Sounds like this is what she has paid for rather than their free marketing service.
They don't advertise this price - but if you google Connells Marketing fees the 1st thing comes up is something which refers to a " free premium package worth up to £149".0 -

Some charge a fee to cover outgoings which they can't recover from third-party suppliers if they don't get their commission from a sale.
