Comment on agent fees
The agency fees are definitely the most expensive fees I have had to pay while I've been renting. I was also taken a back a little but by the requirement of renting I had to take out a Tenant Liability Insurance for just over £12 a month which I wasn't made aware of until I secured the property. In my opinion this doesn't make much sense as I have already paid an £800 deposit which again is a lot more than any of my previous letting agency experiences.
