Difficulties can arise where prospective tenants direct enquiries through a number of agents. Recognition of introductions will lapse after 21 days unless we have confirmation of ongoing contact. The agent must accordingly keep in regular contact and we would recommend that this be done by way of written status reports on all current enquiries.
