Re: what's an appropriate food allowance for an au pair?

Stating the obvious but different families like to manage it in different ways. As someone has said the key is to discuss it in the interview.

Estate agents fees - what is the norm?

Hello Does anybody have any advice on the normal rate after negotiations to pay for selling a property? Also most estate agents seem to say their rates are 2% to 2.5% but I have been told you can get it down to 1.5%? If anybody has any tips on negotiation please do let me know! Thank you very much..
