From the little investigation I undertook, I would consider they are comparable with other agents in the area. If they achieve an early letting at the figure, I would consider their fees acceptable.

Comment on agent fees
I don't think anyone is ever really happy with fees but Harvey Scott seemed competitive when I looked at others in the area. They had also acted for the person I bought the property from and provided a good service which encouraged me to use them as my letting agent. My only small gripe is that interest received on the tenant's deposit is retained by the agent. Perhaps this is standard practice but it is misleading to call it a client account. If interest rates were not so low I would be more bothered about this.
