This scam that Eddy highlighted has made it REALLY hard to rent somewhere new. You have to really research a new property to find out your chances of getting accepted by the landlord - technically DVT is right about the charge but the charge is vastly different between estate agents which shows just how much of a scam it is and even if you pass the checks the landlord can still say no for whatever reason they like and you've lost the money, Estate agents have even warned us not to apply for certain properties because we have a small child and we'll pass the checks but the landlord would refuse us for having a toddler!
Its a very hard situation - jump in and risk losing hundreds per day or delay and the property goes quickly!
