Comment on agent fees
We paid a few hundred pounds in fees to take the property off the market, which was less than we paid in fees last time we moved within York (with a different letting agent). I'm sure others would agree that we'd all like to pay less on letting agent fees, but the price was reasonable and I am sure it is similar to other agents in the area.

At first I felt that the fees were a little on the high side (I tend to be a little skeptical of any types of administration fees) however the support we received and the prompt responses to our enquiries meant that we felt that we had got our money's worth.
