    Sounds about right based on the limited info you have posted.

  • Depends on the T&C's - did they provide details of their fees in advance.

    What paperwork have they sent, if it's as far as preparing the POA for signature then they need paying.

    If they have done the work then you still own the money? Has the LPA been registered?

    I'd agree with previous comments.  More details would be helpful, but on the face of it they've done the work you requested, so are entitled to be paid their fees.
