How much do the agencies charge for letting you property? I am guessing they take a percentage of the weekly fee. Do they also charge for putting you on the website or in their brochure?

I would suggest that you ensure that you have no fee for having a property marketed (make them earn their fee!) and to ensure that any arrangement is non-exlusive as this will allow you to be placed on more than one website.
If you are looking at advertising via a brochure, we have found the cost to be around £500 pa. It's also useful to have a means of tracking how successful this advert is.
We have found that this approach has worked for us when we market properties for others; we only get paid when we provide a booking.
We have found that the charges levied vary.
