    serviced apartments...direct or through agent?

    Hello,

    It has been suggested to me I use an estate agent to find, view and sign up for a serviced apartment then some one else said I can just do it all direct myself.

    How did you guys approach this?

    Thanks, appreciate your comments.

    Just look at the apartment websites, call them up and arrange a time to view. If you go through an agent then you'll likely end up paying more as I'm sure they don't do it for free

    What value does an agent add than you cant do yourself?
