Saving money on agency fees

VoucherGrinder

Hey, i'm due to move out in a month but I can't afford the deposit / agency fees for a new place... so I'm a bit stuck.

Is there any way to get out of them / pay them at a later date?

Any ideas

A few suggestions:

1- Ask the agency to delay payment (unlikely though)
2- Plead with your landlord to get your current deposit back faster, and take out a loan or something to bridge it. (not ideal)
3- There are a few 0 deposit schemes out there that let you pay a monthly fee instead. Zero Deposits is one, just google it.
4- I know that there's a thing called Movem Passport coming out that'll save you like £80, I don't know if it's actually out yet though.
5- If you don't need a guarantor you might save a little bit.


Good luck!

That was a quick reply, cheers I'll check them out. Don't want to do a loan though....

Oh, I just noticed that there's actually a forum for household renting / selling, so it'd probably be better there. Sorry guys.

Why are you moving? Can you not delay until you have enough for a deposit?
