Fees

Our Sales fees

Our standard sole agency fee is 1% of the sale price + VAT, however, with a few quality properties coming onto the market at present, we are always open to negotiate. We certainly wouldn't let the fees come between us!

The agreed fee will include all our services, including advertising, websites, arranging and accompanying viewings etc. This is on a no-sale no-fee basis, i.e. you only pay us if you accept an offer through us, and subsequently exchange contracts.

Our Tenant Fees

• Security Deposit - A sum equivalent to five week’s rent - The security deposit to be paid by the terms of the tenancy agreement, and held by the Deposit Protection Scheme.
• Holding Deposit - A sum of £250 will be taken to secure a property, holding it off the market while references are taken.  This sum will be forfeited by the tenant should they decide not to proceed, or information has been withheld that would adversely affect the referencing process.
• Unpaid Rent / Returned payments - Interest at 3% above Bank of England Base Rate from due date, once over 14 days in arrears
