Further to my previous post where my agent was not forwarding rent monies or monthly accounts. I talked to the principal the other day and she said the property manager had been ill then the property manager said they misplaced my bank details.
Anyway, I finally got the accounts and the rent money this week. That was for November and December.
I’ve had enough and I want to tell them that they have not complied with the contract and that when the place becomes empty in early March, they are finished. Perhaps I should say they are finished now.
I want to go about it to cause the minimum disruption but I would like to get rid of them – can I?

Hi Mcdirt,
Yes sack them now – the story about the PM being ill is all rubbish. A good real estate agency will have someone to pick up the pieces if someone if away, an accountant to process transactions and common courtesy to contact you should things be amiss.
As I pointed put in the previous post they have failed to fulfil their obligations to you and as such can be terminated immediately.
At worst you will have to pay half their management fee for the period remaining on the contract. At best they will not fight and you can find another, more effecient manager.
If you have doubts – this is your property and your money they are (mis)dealing with.

Yes you can sack them.
First find a new property manager you are happy with. Then transfer management across to them and they will do everything for you.
You don’t even have to speak with the old agents.
If you want to know how to find a top property manager have a look at this report:-
