Tenant credit checks
Hi,
I'm looking for some information on how much it costs a well established estate agent to get a credit check done on a prospective tenant. The reason being is that my flatmates and I are seeking a reimbursement of the original agency fee minus any obligatory 3rd party fees, such as the credit check. I have read a few forums and browsed a number of services already but I am still in the dark as to how much it actually costs.

Re: Tenant credit checks
It all depends on what sort of check is done as there are various levels. When you first signed for the property were you not given a breakdown of the cost as agents usually charge between £25 and £50 per person for credit/referencing...why not just deduct what you paid for this?

Re: Tenant credit checks
They never gave us a breakdown of the actual costs but the overall agency fee was £100. That's probably why they didn't give us a breakdown as it is clear that they have taken a large proportion as profit. We need to find out exactly how much they paid for the check but I can't think of a way in which to do that other them ask them, which is not going to be easy.
