Dear Forum,

if this thread already exists I do apologize and kindly ask to give me the link.
Otherwise, here's my question: after almost 5 years my family and me have to relocate from Dorset to Surrey. House hunting can be a nightmare.
So the agencies in greneral charge a fee to take the property off the market if you want to go for it.
They also do a credit check (rating) after this amount has been paid. So if there is a little (no one is safe from this) black spot on your record, the landlord might reject from a letting contract. Theoretically.
In this case, is the fee refundable ?
What kind of credit check Agencies do ?

Thank you ever so much

Stef
