All I can advise is check whether the apartment is on with another agency and then compare tenancy fees. A lot of the flats we looked at before finding one were on with multiple agents. We could have ended up paying a lot more fees than we actually paid (£480 in the end) so saved a few hundred pounds in the end. Our rent is £1685 a month but we're moving to Hammersmith. You should easily find something decent for £1300 though.

I am moving down to London. I am still astounded at the kinds of fees that estate agents charge to tenants. Why can't I be the one who references myself with the referencing agency that is recommended by the agent? Then I can be the one to prepare my bank statements, employer reference and full reference and just hand it over to the agent. I will then also be able to use that said reference with another agent if this particular agent rejects me or just decides to go with someone else. I will be paying £480 in fees and also a further £25 from my old agent who I requested a reference from. Shame on London agents like this one https://www.aaronjbarclay.co.uk/fees£480 is my weeks wage. Bring on the fee ban.
