Not at all surprising letting agents will want higher fees for greater checks on tenants.Mine hasn't, yet, but if I start questioning every detail we now seem to require , they may increase or show me the door. You have...
Clearly there will now be a massive backlog and delays for what should be a simple fast solution. Am I missing something.Why can't the Tribunal ask letting agents for a valuation of the property with examples of recent rents on...
