Signed up to sell my house with whitegates ( LB acting for whitegates on contract ) in Feb 16. In aug 16 LB changed to Steplow as now there are two 'partners' acting for whitegates. ( No new contract signed ). Long story short they are not v good have made at least two ( balls ups ) one time wrongly noting my for sale sign with under offer then after me telling them about this mistake, a couple days later adding a 'sold' sign. Ffs! Then a flurry of congratulation type messages from.neighbours friends etc. Felt a tad put out tbh to say the least so, in march this year I sent an email to terminate my contract. Thing is when I originally signed up the contract ( can't find it now )stated I had to pay £199 plus vat if I didn't sell with them and took it off the market with them. I'm wondering as the contract was over 12 months ago and with just one partner and now with a different ( joint ) partner / company am i obliged to pay. Glad you've read this far. Tia
