OUR MANAGEMENT COSTS – 10% OF THE CALENDAR MONTHLY RENT (PLUS VAT)

This is the fee we charge for managing your property. This involves collecting the rent – paying the balance directly into your bank account and periodic inspections of your property to ensure that the property is being maintained in the condition as when first occupied by the tenant. It the tenant has any problems whatsoever we are the first port of call for anything that needs doing. If contractors are needed to complete works then we contact you first for your authority to instruct the contractor unless it is an emergency and we consider that the cost of the works are reasonable.
