    All agents will have different fee structures. As an agent in your area may not answer this question, you would be best to contact them direct and ask the question for both a managed and let only service. Good luck!

    Hi depending on the agent you will expect to pay around 30 - 40% of the first months rents as your fee, this will pay for you references and set up of the AST (contract). Hope this helps.

    Hi Most agents won't answer that on here or over the phone. Most for sole agency will be from 1% - 2%. Give them a call and get a valuation, this way you will get a feel of who is worth their money. Please don't go straight for the cheapest one as this very often will cost you more money with bad service and low offers. Good luck.

    Agents admin fees can vary tremendously. As a landlord, parent, and agent, it amazes me at what can be charged. My daughter has just had to pay £155 plus VAT in Brighton. I hear stories from tenants who tell me well known high street agents have charged them £300! I currently charge £25 p/person.

    All agencies charge different rates. Make sure you get the full costs before putting ant money down as some agents charge separate fees for referencing, tenancy agrrements, inventories etc.
