Landlords Information and Fees
Brittons Lettings offer their landlords 3 levels of service - Gold, Silver & Bronze
However, we are always happy to arrange a bespoke property management contract to meet a landlord’s specific requirements. Just contact our Lettings Manager for further details.
 
We highly recommend that landlords reference all tenants who will be listed in the tenancy.  Due to the ‘Tenants Fees Act 2019’ landlords and agents are no longer able to charge tenants for this service, previously tenants have paid for their own references.  The Act has prohibited landlords/agents charging fees to tenants unless they are in breach of the tenancy agreement or the tenancy is changed at the tenant’s request, i.e. change of tenant, etc, not a tenancy renewal.  For more information you may find the following link helpful: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tenant-fees-act-2019-guidance.
The charge to reference 2 applicants is £100.
