Landlord Services

What services can we offer you?

We understand that each landlords’ needs are different, which is why we offer four different levels of service depending on how much involvement you wish to have in the day to day running of your letting property.

You will find details of the different services we offer, what we do for each and our charges for them are below. In all cases no commission is payable until a tenancy agreement has been signed.

Independent redress is provided by the TPOs (The Property Ombudsman).

  • Finding a Tenant, Collecting the Rent & Full Management
  • 12.5% plus VAT (15% including VAT) of the monthly rent for the entire duration of the tenancy.

This is very much the service for owners who live abroad or for people who want no involvement in the running of their property or contact from their tenant. We would deal with any problems up to a cost of £300 without contacting you. For anything over that we would need your permission. The organising of major works are not covered and we reserve the right to make additional charges for time spent arranging these.

  • Finding a Tenant, Collecting the Rent & Accounting to you on a monthly basis:
  • 10% plus VAT (12% including VAT) of the monthly rent for the entire duration of the tenancy.

This is the service that most people tend to choose to begin with. However, please note that you will be the first point of contact for the tenant in the event they have any problems. We are still able to be a point of contact for the tenants and are able to deal with maintenance issues once we have contacted you for permission to do so (unless it’s an emergency).

  • 7.5% plus VAT (9% including VAT) of the gross rent of the initial term of the tenancy agreement (With a Minimum Fee of £300.00 Plus VAT payable in all cases). For example, if you signed a 12-month tenancy agreement you would be charged 9% including VAT of 12 months rent.  If you signed a 6-month agreement, you would be charged 9% including VAT of 6 months rent.  Please note that the whole amount is payable once the tenancy has begun.  If the commission due to us is less than £250.00 then you will be charged the minimum fee instead.

This service is for those landlords who feel confident running their letting property and complying with all legislation without any involvement from us during the course of the tenancy. Once the tenant has moved in, we will have no involvement in the running of the tenancy apart from protecting the deposit and returning it once the tenancy has ended.

  • If you have a parking space or garage for rent then this will be the only option available for you.
  • A set fee of £125 plus VAT (£150 including VAT). This becomes payable once the letting agreement has been signed by both parties. Once this has happened we will send you an invoice for our fee, which should be paid within 7 working days.
