I can give you my view of fees based on Balham estate agents, think that should be broadly the same around south London. I never take manged option ( I manage properties myself) so have only used agents on let only basis.
The average I pay is 7% (with Jackson's, Hamptons, Atkinson Macleod) and have at times managed to get 6% with Aspire. All plus VAT. I stay away from Foxtons. They charge 11% non negotiable and inflate asking prices so much that at first you think it makes sense to go with them, but it truth you never get those inflated rents - it's their way of securing a property. I went with them once and never again. I also find them really annoying. They call constantly ( like 3-4 times a day) after valuation pressuring you to sign with them.
I hope this helps.
