Estate Agent Fees

10 years ago
I am relocating to London next week and will be hunting for a flat to rent as soon as I arrive. I have found several very helpful sites explaining the process (and all the fees) but one thing I have not found clear guidance on is whether there Estate Agents charge fees to tenants the way brokers do in the United States in most major cities (in New York a broker will charge either a month's rent or 15% of the annual rent).

Does anyone know from experience if Estate Agents charge such a fee? I know they charge a few smaller fees, such as to run credit and reference checks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
