It's hard if you don't have all the info to hand &, as you have found, the bank statement doesn't tell you the whole story! I'm not sure whether it is just your terminology, but you shouldn't be entering journals for all these transactions. Really, you should have an invoice for the rental income & you would then use the Customer tab to receive payment of the whole £1600, rather than bank receipt. You should enter a purchase invoice for the agent, showing fee & VAT, and would then pay using the Supplier tab in Sage (not bank payment) - payment in full. Then, when you reconcile the bank account, you mark both these as included and your account should balance.
