Comment on agent fees

The agent did absolutely nothing in relation to this property and so did not provide the service it charged for, namely to provide a management service. I would happily pay the management fee had any service been provided. We paid 16% (+ VAT) of the rent and didn't get any service. The agent maintained that the fee is earned in the same way a premium for an insurance policy is – namely by way of providing protection should incidents arise. But incidents arose and nothing was done so using this analogy of insurance cover we didn't get anything for the premium paid i.e we didn't get any 'insurance cover'. 3. It is a clear issue of misrepresentation – namely that M&P holds itself out as providing a Comprehensive Management service – is paid for that service (16%) – it is then asked by its client to take action as part of the service being paid for but decides to do absolutely nothing and continues taking its money for apparently doing absolutely nothing.
