leaseback penalty

Hi,

I have a property in SW france and use the management company eurogroups .I have found a buyer for my house as i need to sell ASAP

and  was told last september that I need to pay an exit fee of 12,500 euros, plus the TVA which is now around 12,000 euros as i have had the property for 9 yrs.

I have now found a buyer and eurogroups have informed me that the exit fee is  now 26,000 euros.

Can anyone shed any light on how they can do this?

Also I did not re sign anything after the 9 yrs was up on the lease, so am I atill tied in with them??

Any help advice would be appreciated.

it is criminal the way these organisation treat homeowners.
