What you need to know about our rental service:

Fees: In London we only charge you once we find you a fully referenced tenant that you are happy to sign an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement for your property.
Non Exclusive: All our lettings fees are non exclusive (ie you are not tied solely to us)
Details: We will produce your property details. We will store your property details so that we can immediately remarket as soon as you are given notice ( thus reducing the chance of void periods)
Client Log in: You have access to all details of viewings and site statistics from Halfapercent, Rightmove and Findaproperty.
Tenants Deposit: Initially we will collect a 6 week deposit and the first months rent. In view of Government tenants deposit legislation (originally due for October 2006 - postponed April 2007). From 2007 Halfapercent will hold all tenants deposit.
Ombudsman: Halfapercent are members of NAEA, OEA and OFT approved.

Please note that the fees are for the DURATION that the tenant is in the property. There is NO MINIMUM fee that we take ie if the tenants opt to leave after less than 12 months. We will REFUND the remaining period taken in Fees. From the Landlords point of view whilst we do charge ' renewal fees' - we find that charging competitive fees for the duration that the tenant is in the property is the fairest way, as it encourages us to find you good quality long term tenants.
