The majority of tenancies progress smoothly, everyone complies with the tenancy agreement and we are all content. We do not believe it is fair to charge endless extra fees when a Landlord has already paid us to find a tenant and organise all maintenance.
When we do charge a fee it will be for extras, not usually required in the majority of residential lets. For example, we provide comprehensive tenancy agreements at no extra charge but if amendments are required we will levy a nominal fee.
Landlords. The small print.
