Good to know

Inventory Fees

From 1st June 2019 it is prohibited to charge Housing Act Tenants any third-party costs. The Landlord is liable for all inventory make, check-in and check-out charges. The costs for the inventory make and check-in/out vary according to the size of the property and are carried out by a professional third party. The invoices are passed across to the Landlord for payment.

Assured Shorthold/Assured Tenancies

Inventory, check-in and check-out - Third party invoice charge to the Landlord (in-line with the Tenant Fees Act 2019).

Company Tenancies (Non Housing Act)

Inventory - Costs shared between Landlord and Tenant. Inventory check-in - Cost paid by Tenant. Inventory check-out - Cost paid by Landlord.

Rent Recovery

Landlord Rent Recovery & Legal Guarantee Cover and Reasonable condition Pet Insurance is available. Please enquire for details.

Professional cleaning

Only needed once as tenants have to return the property cleaned to this standard (about £185 for a two-bedroom flat excluding carpets; £240 with carpets included).

Tradesmen repairs

Labour and parts billed by, for example, a plumber, electrician or handyman.

Representation

Our fees do not include representation in a Tribunal or Court which will have to be charged at an hourly rate. This can be arranged separately through Oliver Fisher Solicitors.

Weekly rent: £461.54

Maximum holding deposit (1 week’s rent): £461.54

Maximum tenancy deposit (5 weeks’ rent): £2,307.69

Working: £2,000.00 × 12 = £24,000.00 a year; ÷ 52 = £461.54 a week; × 5 = £2,307.69. Annual rent is under £50,000, so the 5-week cap applies.
