Why we charge less than traditional agents
Traditional prime London agents charge 15% to 20% of rent for a fully managed service because they carry high-street offices, thirty-person teams and a marketing budget you end up paying for. We run the same service digitally — the same referencing, the same compliance, the same inspections and the same photography — from a small senior team, so the fee lands at 10% instead of 18%.
All fees are shown excluding VAT at 20%. Figures on this page are indicative and do not constitute financial advice.
