There is no such thing as a permanent job.
Rather you have contracts of fixed duration and contracts of unspecified duration - both of which have notice periods.

A recession is well due. Property prices have ballooned to 2-3 times in most of the world and so are the share prices.

And houseprices will continue to rise 10% a year forever.

The payment of a "finders fee" is none of your business. It's between the client and your agency. Stay out of it.
Safer and more professional in the long run.

Originally posted by andre05Hi, I have been contracting for this company for a couple of months and last week my manager has offered me this great permanent post. They are very keen on me but they do not want to pay the agency release fee. Is there anything I can do a part from waiting 6 months?

Oh, and if an offer feels too good to be true, it often is.
Jeez, one born every minute.

Come to a creative compromise: e.g. in exchange for 6 months slumming it, they pay you a 15% signing-on bonus.
But I'd be wary about going permanent with a company that couldn't scrape together a 30% recruitment fee. Actually I'd just be wary about going permanent.
