    (*In the same position I'd do exactly the same as you btw.)
    I gave them an alternative declaration which they're going to allow me to sign, but I find their tactics very heavy handed and downright despicable. I just told the client about their behavior and they were less than impressed, I'm guessing they just like being told by me that I am not going to put up with their tulipe.

    Even the QDOS review flagged the declaration as being absolute junk, but no their employment lawyers know better. Hmmm if it's on the gov.uk site in black and white how is it open to that type of interpretation

      Exactly and to be fair I believe he had no idea what he was talking about, either that or he was spinning it like a politician.

        You can safely assume both.

        As we've all seen agents have no clue, they just have processes to follow and odds are they get reduced commissions if people won't sign the ripoff terms, absurd declarations and comedy contracts.
        Not like as a group they're famous for truthfulness.
