Another I'm about to move in thread

Hey all,
So myself and the missus are moving out of a room-share due to a bad person living here. That and the heating is continuously failing etc. Anyways we're moving into an apartment together. We viewed one with great interest albeit a bit far out it suits our budget.

We didn't have the whole deposit upfront so we paid 1/3 of it there and then in cash in the apartment. I called the letting agent who passed on bank details for the rest. Is there anyway to verify this is procedure?

Also we're looking to move our own stuff in and I want to tell the letting agent what to and what not to remove. Would it be a problem to call them and ask to meet me there?

They're requesting the deposit upfront and then a months rent on moving in which we're planning on doing this Sunday if not then Monday.
I'd rather send the money via bank details than cash. I pay the current rent in the house we're moving from is by standing order

Hope this makes some sense as I'm quite excited at the moment

Never deal in cash unless you are a drug dealer.
Cheque or EFT only.
You can lose a receipt, you cannot lose a transaction on your bank statement.

Well when viewing I asked and was told it wouldn't be a problem. I just wanted to confirm with them.

As for receipts.. yup I've photocopied the current one already.
