Situation is a little more complicated than that...yes there was mandate with this estate agency, we were development partners in this JV and our development partner hired them to sell the units which they did, of which we kept 5 for ourselves.
We are going through a 'hand over' phase now, units are being transfered out and our partnership is being dissolved (project was a success partners are moving on), technically I don't have full control yet, site is still a mess as we are doing finishes and we don't allow anyone on site yet. We get the keys to the units from the 1st of Oct and until then I have to work with these agents and until everythings handed over etc etc...at the moment I'm just hustling to get things movin but it's a little frustrating...all diffificult to explain if you're not exposed to the complexities.
Neverthless, keep the pragmatic input comin' Mr Houses4Rent I see you are a man of no compromises when it comes to tenant placement!
