No, this is an estate agent I'm going to give £180 to.
I went on companies house. There's two companies with similar names at the same address, that's not necessarily bad though?

Is this a deposit on a flat or something?

It's an admin fee for the letting agent.
Fucking shit is what it is, but legal according to citizens advice.

Yeah, it is.
I had to pay one when renting through an estate agent a few years ago. At least you get a deposit back from a landlord.

Oh just to save you some time
they don't accept monopoly money. Also yelling at the woman that she should because the way they run their business is like a game where they are the big fat moneybag man and you are the old boot and I would have been better off living in a tiny plastic house on Old Kent Road will get you escorted off the premises.
