Fees Under Fire
Remember when we talked about the unfair fees that letting agents are claimed to charge? Well, the National Landlords Association is celebrating today, as the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has finally done something about it – they issued High Court proceedings against Foxtons, one of the biggest agents in town.
They are not the only ones who are being accused of charging unfair fees – just one the biggest that gets more complaints, and is therefore good to hang as an example.
We don’t know yet whether this will make the letting agents change their terms but the case will surely clear some air in the charges department.
