It's best to put agreements in writing
Murdoch, John
It's best to put agreements in writing - 2008 - Estates Gazette (0804) 2 February 2008, 167(1) .
Considers the case of Ian Green Residential Ltd v Asfari. The case reinforces the requirement outlined by the Estate Agents Act 1979 s18 for Agents to state their fees in writing. The judge concluded that mention of a retainer had only been made after the defendants had been taken to view a property. The defendants then revealed they had already retained another agent. It was found that they had at all times made it clear they would not pay for these services. The judge issued guidance that such breach would not have implied a forfeited commission had this been relevant.
