Hi can anyone tell me the average cost of agents fees for being shown rental properies. I've been quoted 50% of the first months rent is this the norm?

Thank you

Yes, 50% of the first month's rent is normal.

For more expensive properties you may be able to negotiate down, specially if you can play two agents against each other on seperate properties.

I think you will find that is right. The best way, although not maybe the quickest, is to look for the direct owner leasing of properties which you can find on the internet. May be there are other sites that do this too.
