EA fees although Private Sale

It might be wise to try not to burn your bridges with the estate agent in case the private sale to tenants falls through. See if you can resolve the situation amicably so you can reinstruct them (taking advantage of the payment you will have already made) if the sale falls through.0

We have taken some professional advice on this and when the dust has settled, and if I remember, I will follow up here so others can learn from our experience. I have a reminder in the diary so hope to be able to share at a latter point....
How far has the sale progressed with your tenants? Have they obtained a mortgage yet?0 -
They have spent time and money taking photos and putting a listing online.And possibly some other internal stuff.
so if you cancel the contract they can charge you for those costs. Whether it will be £1500 is unlikely.
If they did not introduce the tenants originally you should be fine (though if a different letting agent introduced the tenants you'd better read that contract too!)
^^^^^This. Its often in the small print from what i read here.0
