The dodgy reputation of High Street estate agents is not undeserved. Their fees are high and often the level of service they provide is not. They used to have a monopoly on selling or renting properties. The internet has changed this; people don't just register with a local high street agent and wait to be shown properties. They go online and find the right property themselves.

Move In
Once your tenant is found we will handle all the referencing and contracts without charging you or your prospective tenant any fees. We will advise on and can help organise gas and electric reports, inventories, insurance and any other legally required or prudent pre-tenancy steps. Our landlords can choose whether to lodge the deposit with an approved scheme or we can register it and they control it themselves.
Manage
Once your tenant has moved in we do not charge fees for arranging small maintenance jobs or any other administrative work, While we endeavour to always squeeze every penny possible for our landlords, sometimes maintenance is required. Our sales and build experience creates a unique synergy helping us to reduce your costs while advising on the best long-term strategy.
Marketing, move in and management is charged 12% with no VAT payable.
Management of ongoing tenancies or renewals are charged at 10% with no VAT payable.
