I rent out a flat in London using an agent. Mostly fine, but I am a bit frustrated about one aspect of the fees. The agent's fees are charged upfront for the full term (a year). However, very often my tenants move out early (not due to the flat, a feature of the transient nature of the area).
So, I am paying a full year's worth of fees for what is often only a six month rental. Is this standard? I am otherwise happy with the agency and have a good relationship with them. Does anyone have any experience of negotiating with an agency over this?
