It says it has accessed 400 agencies in total - including some online - in 150 cities and towns.
On average, it claims the five most expensive areas for tenant fees are Basingstoke on £621.67, Slough on £543.33, Cirencester on £535.00, Reading on £530.62 and Alnwick on £530.31.

These costs include preparation of a tenancy agreement, contract fees, referencing for two people, guarantor fees.
