I was just charged £120 for referencing and £210 for "Tenancy Agreement". (For a 1 bed flat for 1person). When I baulked at the gouging, she said it was a really great document of 44 pages as though that was going to impress me. Estate agents are becoming millionaires by exploiting the poor and struggling, just needing to get a roof over their heads. The tyrannical, daylight robbery techniques of estate agents are a f***ing disgrace. Fox and sons are the same as all the rest, highwaymen and women pretending to give a service, but just punishing those who are at the bottom. I would encourage landlords to find a different way to let their properties, instead of putting money in the pockets of thieves. The UK government spends 25billion + per annum helping renters accommodate exorbitant rents encouraged by amoral, greedy Lettings agents. This is not a service, it is a tax on the honest and diligent. The technique is to sow distrust between Landlord and Tenant, making it appear that the interloper is valuable, taking money at the beginning, middle and end for doing nothing. It is a triangle marriage where the poorest guy in it pays for everything and we all pretend that it's fine. Estate agents are not caring people, they are salespeople and they perpetuate tyranny by showing up every day and doing it all for commission. Do something useful for humanity, instead of exploiting others just because it's not illegal yet.

From my initial telephone conversation with Ali, she gave me a good indication of what to expect and how quickly it may be possible to get a tenant into the property.
Being a novice about renting out a property, Ali Sweet was very clear and ...

The agent herself I believe named Lucy was immensely miserable. She did not interact with us at all when being shown around the property. Then to establish the fees were nearly £700 when all other local agents are £200 was ludicrous! These are not high end properties ...
