There are no rules stating a landlord must use the cheapest quote and indeed many will choose a contractor who is not the cheapest, but they have an established relationship. This relationship may indeed save money in the long run as alternative quotes may be deliberately kept low to get access to the contract and as a result, the service may be reflected in this initial low quote. https://www.jjcl.co.uk/blog/5ukvb5mmo65z8i8gha5jqfqs9eodwr monthly 0.5 2023-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2837ba625d533e61f60307/3cb48729-31e4-4f5b-8c23-69310e4a973b/230224_Blog9_image1.jpeg Blog - ‘My Service Charge is too High’ - Commercial Properties - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2837ba625d533e61f60307/1402c61f-94af-4ec5-9a06-dd7a949e6f56/230224_Blog9_image2.jpeg Blog - ‘My Service Charge is too High’ - Commercial Properties - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2837ba625d533e61f60307/e26b90a6-828e-48f9-a0c1-e4f789c02f49/230224_Blog9_image3.jpeg Blog - ‘My Service Charge is too High’ - Commercial Properties - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jjcl.co.uk/blog/ztoe5mv5uel5pvssr94zr961bedyrv-wjt88-6a28m-8g9ea-2x65f monthly 0.5 2022-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2837ba625d533e61f60307/db048ef4-5502-4529-b2a1-c5d9f2343f20/221115_Image01_1663610041237.jpg Blog - How have the terms in English commercial leases adapted in the last few years – ‘Conclusions’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jjcl.co.uk/blog/ztoe5mv5uel5pvssr94zr961bedyrv-wjt88-6a28m-8g9ea monthly 0.5 2022-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2837ba625d533e61f60307/95883b3d-f53b-4e04-a7fa-058e13ead520/221110_Image01_1663609593996.jpg Blog - How have the terms in English commercial leases adapted in the last few years – ‘The Terms’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2837ba625d533e61f60307/05d8aa92-4de5-4481-baf1-3ede77df92ad/221110_Image02_1663609685569.jpg Blog - How have the terms in English commercial leases adapted in the last few years – ‘The Terms’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jjcl.co.uk/blog/ztoe5mv5uel5pvssr94zr961bedyrv-wjt88-6a28m monthly 0.5 2022-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2837ba625d533e61f60307/2742222c-8f83-4654-8ab9-a3b4fa1ea1c8/221108_Image01_1663608669921.jpg Blog - How have the terms in English commercial leases adapted in the last few years?
