    I had a property for rent for two months with auctioneer I had bought property of 3 months ago and he found nobody for it . I have found a tentant for the property myself in the mean time thru friend of a friend just wondering is my actioneer entitled to any money ?

    No foal no fee - he had plenty of time to find tenants and didnt produce the goods. No doubt he will argue that his advertising may have led to deal.

    I always advertise my own houses and I've never had a problem finding anyone - ad on daft - it is a bit of work but at least you get a chance to screen the tenants. If the sh1t hits the fan an agent can and will do shag all for you...

    I doubt he will argue about his advertising did it since I payed for the sign and put it up

    Did you sign a contract? If so, read it. We can't guess what could be in it.

    If not and you've already paid for the advertising just tell them you're withdrawing it.

    What did the contract state, or was there ever anything even signed?

    If he advertised it for you then he will be entitled to his fees even if you find a tenant. There's been more than one court case for similar but house sales where the owner got a purchaser other than through the auctioneer.
