Questions
What if I have credit issues?
We consider each application individually. While bad credit isn't automatic rejection, we may require a guarantor depending on the landlord's requirements.
What are your agency fees?
Our fees are £85 for single applicants, £150 for couples, and £50 for guarantors. These are the only charges we apply.
How is rent paid to landlords?
Rent is transferred directly to your bank account via BACS payment. We ensure secure, timely payments as part of our management service.
Do you handle property maintenance?
This depends on your management agreement. We'll clarify at tenancy start whether we handle maintenance directly or provide landlord contact details.
What about tax compliance for overseas landlords?
We assist with UK tax requirements for international landlords, including quarterly tax deductions and exemption certificate applications as required by HMRC regulations.
