I’m planning to move to Brighton pretty soon and my girlfriend and I spent a long time yesterday ringing round all of the Brighton letting agents (including Hove) asking about their fees and whether they accept a guarantor letter or not.
Hopefully this will prove useful to someone else who is looking to move to Brighton. Sorry the format is a bit weird – I just pasted it straight from an XLS file. Let me know if you want the full xls file instead.
Disclaimer: this info is correct as of 24/8/10 but it may well change and I don’t intend to update this list at all. So please check before you sign any contracts.
