First of all the cheapest is not always the best, but I assume you take this attitude that as its not yours why should you have to pay for it !! .

I will agree £162 seems quite dear, but it does depend on your post code , if you live in a city centre it could be a fair price

By landlords items do you mean fixtures and fittings e.g. central heating, new kitchen or furnishings such as carpets, settee beds etc.
