A property owner who could not sell a one-bedroom flat decides to rent it out instead. The person says they did not previously plan to become a landlord, but changes in their situation lead them to seek tenants after the sale did not complete.

The account focuses on concerns about a letting agent’s fee structure. The owner says they requested a “tenant only” service but later discovered the agent had altered its fees. According to the reports, the owner is questioning whether this change results in a costly outcome and refers to the situation as a potential “letting agent trap.”

Across the outlets provided, the core details are the same: the failure to sell the flat, the move to renting, and the dispute or concern about whether the letting agent’s updated pricing affected what service was actually provided or what the owner expected to pay.
