Looking at moving into a new flat share, however, the estate agent costs seem a bit high.
Basically, require first months rent in advance (this is fine), plus deposit (this is also fine), but the estate agent has asked for £310 to pay for the changing of the deposit, tenancy agreement and checking references.
Rent is £500 per month.
Deposit is £700.
There is an additional fee of £310 to be payed to the estate agent for changing the deposit over, tenancy agreement over and also to check references.
Is this normal? It's a London flat.
