Landlords
Every landlord fee, on one page.
The law requires a letting agent to publish its fees. Most do it in a PDF three clicks away. Ours are here: the three levels of service side by side, every charge, and what the certificates cost at cost, so you can compare us line by line with anyone.

Lettings fees are plus VAT at 20%. The sales fee includes it.

Side by side
What each level includes, line by line.
"n/a" means that level does not include it and you do it yourself; nothing is held back to sell later.

Wales is different
What a landlord in Wales has to do, and what we do for you.
Since December 2022 a tenancy in Wales is an occupation contract under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act. You must register with Rent Smart Wales (£39, to them), give a written statement of the contract within fourteen days, give six months' notice and never in the first six months, have an EPC of E or better, a gas certificate yearly, an electrical certificate every five years, smoke alarms on every floor and a carbon monoxide alarm where there is a fuel appliance, and protect the deposit within thirty days. On full management we do all of it and diarise the renewals. On tenant find we do the contract and the deposit and give you the list for the rest.
- Occupation contract and written statement done properly
- Certificates diarised and renewed before they lapse
- Deposit in a government scheme, certificate to the tenant
