No fees are charged. The deposit is pretty standard. As non-UK I had to pay the first and last rent upfront which can be tricky, but it went smoothly.

Not good value for money. We have compared with other students in Edinburgh who have received flats with superior facilities and living conditions, plus better customer service than what we experienced, for less money. We are currently being charged exit fees for which we are seeking advice from LPS letting service.
