Foxtons... I know there is another thread but...

[Love_London]

I know there is another thread on Foxtons but I would like to ask some specific questions.

Basically I'm planning to let my current flat and Foxtons' estimate for weekly rental was 425 and another local agent's estimate was 350!

I heard that Foxtons' estimate is on the higher end but the difference is pretty significant and not sure which one I should go for... If only Foxtons can achieve what they promise, obviously I'll be happy to pay slightly higher fees but if they don't achieve it and I end up with 350 with higher fee, I'll join the club and dislike Foxtons like everyone else.

Has anyone had experience with Foxtons where they don't achieve the rental estimate they promised in the beginning? and if they don't achieve it, can I pull out in the later stage and go for another agent without paying some sort of penalty?

You should negotiate that into your contract.

put the monthly version of their weekly rent into the search engine at rightmove -

put yourself in the shoes of a punter

would yours be a good deal?

350 p/w is 1515 pcm

425 p/w is 1840 pcm

As purplehaze said, if others in the area are asking 350ish, do you think someone will jump at paying ?325 more per month for your place? Or will is sit empty for two months before you have to drop the price and still pay Foxton's higher rate?
