The extras we don’t charge

  • Referencing (2 tenants)£120£0
  • Tenancy agreement£120£0
  • Deposit registration£36£0
  • Set-up / admin fee£60£0

Typical high-street let-only fees, VAT included. Ours is 90% of the first month’s rent, paid once the tenant signs — no monthly management.

In short

At £800 rent a month, let-only costs £720 — once.

We market it, run the viewings, vet the applicants and set the tenancy up properly. From move-in it is yours: the rent, the repairs and the compliance. VAT inclusive, every charge listed.

One agent. Until the tenant signs.

They price it, present it, run the viewings and negotiate the offer — then hand you a fully-vetted tenancy and get out of your way.

What you take on

After move-in, the deadlines are yours.

We verify all of it before the tenant moves in. Renewing it afterwards is the landlord’s legal duty on let-only — most of these carry five-figure fines.

From a landlord
“I live ten minutes away and I like being hands-on. What I did not want was to run the viewings and the referencing myself — they found me a tenant in nine days, and then left me to it.”

FAQ

The questions landlords actually ask.

When do I pay the fee?

Once the tenant has signed and the deposit is lodged — not at instruction. If we do not let it, there is nothing to pay.

What happens if the tenant leaves early?

The tenancy is yours to manage, so notice comes to you. We can re-let it for another let fee, or you can handle it yourself.

Who holds the deposit?

We lodge it with the DPS at the start and transfer the record to you, so the protection stays valid and the paperwork is clean.

Can I switch to fully managed later?

Yes, at any point in the tenancy — we pick up the rent, repairs and compliance from that month with no new let fee.
