In Loot the majority of properties are through estate agents as it is.
Estate agents charge you annoying fees, but as you say you don't have to deal with, say, a landlord who disconnects his mobile, moves to the caribbean and fails to notify his tenants so they can't even give notice to get deposit back and move out of the once lovely but now delapidated flat with a broken boiler.
I'd rather pay an extra £50 per year. Just avoid the major ones like Foxton's and it's OK, I've found.
