How estate agent fees are calculated

[anichka 2]

Again, this may have been covered here before, and I may not be using the correct search terms to find the answer, so if someone could point me somewhere else, that would be great...

 

looking for housing and wondering why the steep fees for estate agents. What is it to their services that merits 2 months rent +?

 

I thought it was steep in the UK when there was a processing fee on my application.

They're is no logical reason, it's simply a fact of life in Germany, that's the way it is, end of story!

 

PS, what the hell is the correct spelling of "they're" in this context!!!

I think that you are looking for this spelling "there" as opposed to "they're = they are" which would not make a great deal of sense in the sentence that you wrote. Hope this helps?

 

This subject has been cover in another thread (to certain extent until it went off topic. It still might be helpful though):

Annoyed by estate-agent fees
