These have been designed much like our Fully Managed Service to remove the stress of the Lettings process, providing complete peace of mind backed by an ARLA Propertymark estate agent but for landlords who are happy to take on the management side of the tenancy.

Our fees are fully transparent and as detailed below include items such as the Inventory, Tenancy agreement, deposit registration and end-of-tenancy inspection.

We have provided below an easy-to-understand graphic which details what’s included in each service and a fee chart detailing our easy-to-understand fee structure.

Example Tenant Find fee Calculation

We have provided below a simple example of how our Tenant Find fee is charged and how favourable it compares to our local competition for transparency, and fairness, meaning you understand exactly what you are being charged.

For the calculations below, we have chosen a Monthly rent of £900 PCM

Monthly rent £900 x 110%  (91.66 plus VAT – Fee is taken from fee chart above) = £990 including VAT.

If you choose Tenant Find Rent Collect then this would be a monthly cost of £32.40 including VAT on an ongoing monthly basis (£900 x 3.6%).
