Estate agent wants £95 if I remove the property.

I think that the EA in question should make this charge plain and clear on there website. Not putting the line no upfront fees and free professional photography, the photography is one of the things they said the £95 is for. Well it’s either free or it ain’t.
This thread is a total waste of time .0 -
How good are the photos? All the local highstreet EAs round here take photos with a potato which a 6 year old can produce better results. I certainly wouldn't be paying £95 for them.0

With all due respect, what you think is irrelevant - you asked the question, and you've had the replies to help you with your next move.
If it's in the contract, you pay it - if not, you don't. Easy peasy.
The photography is free if the house sells (which is why you'd use the agent) and there are no up front fees - you weren't asked to pay anything when the advertising started.
Suck it up, move on.

It might not be a waste of time if people reading it get the idea that these boring T&Cs and small print exclusions are important.This thread is a total waste of time .
Two years ago, I was able to win a protracted, acrimonious argument with a company, after suddenly realising they'd broken the terms of our contract. It would have saved months of wrangling if I'd looked at those T&Cs in tiny print at an earlier stage.0 -

If information on their website (which you relied on in chosing their service) differs from the terms of the contract then you may have some grounds for complaint.Floor plans, which they did, and an epc which they didn’t do as I supplied the one I have already.
Again to quote there website “Floorplan and EPC’s provided at no extra cost”
But first of all you need to look very carefully at the wording - for example "at no extra cost" is not the same thing as "free". Did they ever claim the photography was "free", or did they also describe that as "at no extra cost"?"In the future, everyone will be rich for 15 minutes"0 -

2 days on and 30 posts on and unless I've missed it you have still not answered the key question.
What does it say in the contract that you signed?
Please quote all relevant clauses, in full, and precisely.
Only than can you expect meaningful advice.0
