All our services are based
on a NO LET - NO FEE basis.
Full management
service (exclusive of VAT)
- an initial
fee of 50% of the first month's rent (minimum £200) when
we first let the property for the first time (this is a one off fee and
IS NOT charged at the start of each subsequent tenancy) - as
a SPECIAL OFFER we are WAIVING THIS FEE for all clients who sign up with
us before 1 April 2010
- 10% of each
month's rent thereafter (minimum £40 per month)
Tenant Finding
Service (exclusive of VAT)
- a one off
payment of 80% of one month's rent (minimum £350) each time
we find a tenant willing and able to rent the property
Miscellaneous
charges
- if you ask us to
arrange rent guarantee we pass on to you the fee or premium charged for
this insurance but do not charge for arranging it
- if it is necessary
to take legal proceedings against a tenant we will NOT charge you
for our services or time or for appearing with or for you in court. If
you choose to employ a solicitor you will be responsible for the solicitor's
fees
Notes:
- fees quoted
are exclusive of VAT which is chargeable at the standard rate
- we earn no
fee or commission for services we arrange on your behalf .
for instance for safety checks and maintenance work; this allows
us to represent your interests to best effect; if we do receive any fees
or discounts for goods or services which we arrange we will pass these
on to you in full.
- we hold deposits
from tenants as "stakeholder" on behalf of both landlord and tenant in
accordance with current legislation covering the protection of tenancy
deposits
this money is held in an interest bearing account, and we retain any
interest earned as business income, thereby helping us to keep our fees
as low as possible
- we do not
charge tenants any administration or reference fees or other routine charges.
for instance for checking references or drafting or renewing tenancy
agreements; these charges (which are levied by most other agents) can
deter potential tenants from renting; we do, however, charge tenants administrative
fees when they do not pay rent on time or when they call on our non-essential
services in accordance with the arrangements specified in our standard
Tenancy Agreement
How does
Simply Rent keep its fees low?
We charge
amongst the lowest fees in the area. We do this:
- by taking advantage
of modern working practices and the latest computer technology
using bespoke software specially written for our use.
- by eliminating
all overhead costs which do not directly contribute to the service
we give to our clients
- by keeping office
services to an absolute minimum; we do not have high street premises
as (unlike buyers) tenants prefer to search the web or ring around to
check availability when they are looking for somewhere to rent; we prefer
to go to our clients when they need to see us.
