Some where back of the mind the thought always revolves around that should we hire someone to help us find the place or should we take out time, exploring around the city to locate broker free office space ourselves and start finding a place of choice and then there is and option of searching on online portals or exploring around the city to locate broker free rental accommodations around the city. he second options looks promising, because you are not going to pay any third person for brokerage and would save some money for your own benefits, however soon after few visits you will find yourself stuck. The problem with listings in online portals are most of them are fake listings to generate a customer lead. And the problem in searching for To-Let boards around the city is in 90% of the occasions you will find the phone number mentioned to be of a broker, as most of the owners appoint a broker.
