    How to handle this estate agent situation?

    I agree with Brian.... sounds very much like the agent has a 'friend' who wants it.... or dare i even suggest they're getting a 'backhander' from someone who wants first dibbs.... Re the property you're in now..... sorry, but it sounds disgusting. We try to work on the principle 'would...

    How to handle this estate agent situation?

    Speaking as a landlord myself, i'd be VERY ANNOYED with the estate agent for NOT informing me of the the fact they have someone willing to pay up front NOW..!!! I'm presuming the (new) property is 'managed' by the agent, and not just a 'tenant find' basis by the way they are treating you...

    Cycle query

    All excellent replies and recommendations.... mseries.... i hear what your saying re quality of product.
