If successful, i.e. you can be released from your tenancy early, this will cost you £500 plus VAT (i.e. £600.00). We would return the property to the market and endeavor to find a new Tenant. However, you would still be liable to pay the rent up until finding the replacement Tenant. You may be able to find a replacement Tenant candidate yourself, but any candidate would still require to be approved by the Landlord and subject to referencing by us. You may also be liable for the Landlords fees paid to our agency, and therefore you should speak to us for advice with regards to how we can best help you.
