Letting in Charlton

What to check before you pick an agent in Charlton.

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.

Greenwich's licensing rules

Charlton is in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, which runs its own licensing schemes. Check the council's rules for your exact address, and find out whose name is on any licence.

Reviews, and how many there are

A 4.9 rating from 20 reviews isn't the same as a 4.9 from 1,000. Your comparison shows the rating and the number of reviews behind it.

The area

Why renters look at Charlton.

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

Charlton House and park

The Jacobean Charlton House and its park sit at the heart of Charlton Village, with Maryon Park and Maryon Wilson Park close by.

Trains to London Bridge

Charlton station has Southeastern trains to London Bridge and Cannon Street, and the Jubilee line at North Greenwich is a short bus ride away.

The Valley

Charlton Athletic's ground is a local landmark, and the riverside to the north is changing fast with new homes along the Thames.

Space for the money

Charlton's Victorian terraces and interwar houses tend to cost less to rent than similar homes in Greenwich, which appeals to families and sharers.

Questions

Letting agents in Charlton, explained.

How much do letting agents charge in Charlton?

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 Charlton?

Possibly. The Royal Borough of Greenwich runs its own licensing schemes, which can cover HMOs depending on the property. Check the 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.
