Wow, we must have been robbed blind because we paid $300 to Foxtons for them after they found a place. But they never charged during the search process and we must have spent that much alone on petrol to be driven around the city for a week straight.

I just want to advise everyone against Winkworth's, I've had a horrible experience with them since I moved to London; and they're probably the main reason why I can't wait to head back to the US.

There was a programme on TV last week about estate agents and Foxtons was featured - some of their practices were very dodgy to say the least- they showed them forging landlord's signatures on documents and also cutting bits out and sticking in new paragraphs after contracts had been signed!!

I agree with rightmove.co.uk, it's how I found the flat I'm in now. :)

The agent told that you are not aBritish Citizen and dont have any credit in UK since you just move 5 days ago ( no Bank, No Adress, No Nic).

Even in USA, if you dont have a credit History you will have a problem renting from Agent. 
Thanks
