Re your above comment...All ARLA registered agents charge renewal fees anyway.
I do not work for Foxtons and never would but I do know that without a good letting agents then landlords and tenants would be getting turnt over left, right and centre.
In fact the main reason why tenants call private adverts out of the the gumtree and the loot(for example) is because they know that there will not be any proper checks, a proper impartial inventory and the lanldord will probably not have a clue about the legalities involved in letting a property.
Also if you agree and sign to an agents terms and conditions then you have to pay the renewal fee even if you change the standing order or contract as you will be bound by those terms.
All the wise and astute landlords I work with get in with their letting agent to make sure they get a good rent increase, sound advice and more importantly are fully covered with the legalities involved with lettings. Or alternatively let it yourself and get will eventually lose out!
