Letting in Brockley

What to check before you pick an agent in Brockley.

The headline rate is only the start. These four checks show what each agent will really cost you.

The fee in pounds, with VAT

Most landlords can't reclaim VAT on residential lets, so compare the VAT-inclusive rate. On a London rent, the gap between 12% and 20.4% is worth about £2,350 a year.

The extras on top

Tenancy paperwork fees, monthly compliance charges and fees for serving the yearly rent increase notice can add hundreds of pounds. Ask for the full fee schedule in writing.

Lewisham's licensing rules

Brockley is in Lewisham, which runs selective licensing in parts of the borough. Check the council's scheme for your exact address, and find out whose name is on any licence.

Converted flats need extra care

Many Brockley houses have been split into flats. If you own a leasehold flat, check the lease's letting terms, and ask the agent how they handle repairs that involve the freeholder.

The area

Why renters look at Brockley.

Knowing what draws tenants to the area helps you and your agent pitch the listing, and set the rent, to the right people.

Hilly Fields

The hilltop park between Brockley and Ladywell has some of the best views in south-east London, plus tennis courts and a summer fair. It's a draw for families and dog owners alike.

A conservation area

Much of Brockley is a conservation area of large Victorian villas, many now split into flats. Check what the rules mean for any work you plan before you let.

Windrush line and Southern

Brockley station is on the Windrush line, through Canada Water and Shoreditch, and Southern trains run to London Bridge. Mention the station in your listing: commuters search for it.

Food and drink

The Saturday Brockley Market and the cafés and bars around the station give the area a strong local scene that appeals to tenants moving out from more central London.

Questions

Letting agents in Brockley, explained.

How much do letting agents charge in Brockley?

Across London, the agents we checked publish full-management fees of 12% to 20.4% of the rent including VAT. Big-name agents sit at the top of that range and local independents usually charge less. Your comparison shows the published fees of the agents that cover your address.

Do I need a licence to let in Brockley?

Possibly. Lewisham runs selective licensing in parts of the borough, and smaller HMOs may need a licence too. Check Lewisham Council's scheme for your exact address before you let or switch agent.

Can I change letting agent mid-tenancy?

Yes. Check your contract's notice period, exit fee and any commission on tenants the agent found. If your agent is the named licence holder, speak to the council first, because a licence can't be transferred.

Is the comparison free?

Yes. Enter your address and sign in with your email so we can send you the report. We compare the agents near your property at no cost, and nothing is sent to an agent.
