Most people will not make a bigger investment in their lives than buying a property. Therefore - whether it is your principle home that you are considering letting or an investment property - choosing the right agent is crucial. As members of the National Approved Lettings Scheme (NALS) and The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) you can be assured of the very highest levels of professionalism.

Renewal Fees are payable should the same tenant remain in occupation. Our Letting fees are reduced by 2% each year to a minimum of 4% + VAT. e.g If you choose the full management service you would pay 10% + VAT in the second year and 8% in the 3rd year. If your tenant changes, the fee reverts to 12% + VAT.
