Comment on agent fees
When we signed our first lease, we were informed that the fees were over ‚£200 as there is more than one tenant. These were halved on the condition that the new agreement is finalised at least 6 weeks before the term end. Still a very high fee in my opinion but better than the full amount.

Comment on agent fees
The non-refundable administration fee seems rather expensive given that what you get in return is the bare minimum, i.e. the property gets taken off the market, your references are checked, the tenancy agreement is drawn up and signed by all parties. Obviously, this has more to do with the company policy rather than the service we received from individuals there, which was always very good. However, given that we paid several hundred pounds for this fee, we would've liked to have had one or two of our requests met, such as moving in a day or two earlier. It may be that we're not used to the letting culture here in the UK, as in Australia there are no such fees for the tenant and new tenants can move in 3-4 days after the previous occupiers have moved out rather than having to wait out a 10 day turn around, which to us seemed rather slow.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Reply when they say they will to calls and queries. Use contractor who do what they say they will (work has been charged for that hasn't been done or completed properly) and keep landlords informed. Would also be useful to be able to see all correspondences relating to your property as some other agents do..
