how to deal with estate agencies (UK)?

I'll be arriving Birmingham city and the first thing I'll do is to visit estate agencies. I am not familiar on how they perform. They show me flats around and then charge me %10 of the monthly rent fee for every month? How much should they charge me for? Who do I pay my monthly rent the agency or the flat owner?

  • Agencies are paid by the property owner, not the tenants.

    You will pay the rent only ,not commission, to the agent.

    You will be told the arrangement for paying the rent by the agent.

  • Goodness, there are plenty! maximum are interior sight, yet some are "national" - the main in call for being Bairstow Eves, Connells and Dixons. yet beware, they often charge a greater robust value value - as much as 3% (plus VAT) while the smaller, non-company businesses in undemanding terms tend to charge a million% - 2% (all plus VAT) Edit: re Venus high quality - i presumed it become in undemanding terms domestically interior the Midlands that Bairstow Eves had that nickname!
