Landlord services and fees

This page is our complete landlord price list. Every fee we charge is on it, every figure includes any VAT, and if a charge is not here, it does not exist. Residential letting costs £600 setup on every tier, then nothing on Let Only, 8% of the rent on Rent Collection, 10% on Fully Managed, or 12% on Overseas Landlord Management. Everything else is below, priced item by item, charged only when used.

Contractor works, parts and materials are always at the contractor's actual cost, with no mark-up from us.

The commitments behind the prices

We hold client money protection through UKALA and belong to a government approved redress scheme, and our full regulatory position is on the Fees, redress and regulation page. Nothing changes for an existing tenancy mid-term without written notice.

Questions we are asked

Are there really no other charges? +

None. This page is the whole list, every figure includes any VAT, and contractor invoices are passed to you at cost without mark-up. If you are quoted anything not on this page, query it, because it should not exist.

Why is your setup fee the same £600 on every tier? +

Because the setup work is the same whichever tier you choose: marketing, viewings, referencing, the tenancy agreement, deposit protection and check in. Agents who advertise a low headline percentage often recover it through a larger setup fee; we would rather both numbers were plain.

What does the £180 an hour apply to? +

Work beyond the standard scope of a listed item, agreed with you before it is done. The listed price covers the normal case; the hourly rate exists for the abnormal one, and you will never meet it without being told first.
