Without wanting to hijack this thread - and detract from the good work of the OP - this is exactly what we are trying to fix with our startup, OpenRent (http://www.openrent.co.uk http://www.openrent.co.uk). 1. All of our listings are live. There is a big fat RENT NOW button on the listing pages...! 2. All of our charges are transparent - if you use Rent now - we charge tenants £20 each for referencing. For listing - we charge £20. The other costs associated with rentals (bills breakdown based on no. of bedrooms / council tax / etc.. ) we will be adding in - it's on our TODO list. Anyway, as I said, I don't want to detract from the OP's work. The search side is also an important one to solve (ie. our commute time search), but we feel in order to do that effectively, you need to build out the listing quality first.
