I can't be bothered to name change even though I am kicking myself.
In a nutshell, I live abroad but in January I put my house on the market.
I was ready to go with one agent but decided on another at the last minute. Went in to sign the paperwork and saw that the fees weren't as agreed as I was quoted 1.25 plus vat as 3 other agents were offering the same. They had quoted a fixed fee.
I queried it but stupidly signed as they said not to worry, it was on their paperwork but this figure was just for their results or something like that. This conversation was between myself, the lady who took on the property and the manager. I was with dd at the time and in a hurry
I have now sold and completion is this Friday. When the fee came up I spoke to the Manager at the EA. The girl who agreed it has now left but he said he would talk to her. They have sent an invoice to the solicitor for the higher amount. Is there anything I can do. The solicitor has said they won't pay it unless i'm happy with the figure. Could kick myself for being so trusting. It may all come out in the wash............
