Letting in Dulwich

What to check before you pick an agent in Dulwich.

On a bigger rent, a few percentage points make a big difference. 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. The higher your rent, the more each percentage point is worth in pounds.

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.

The Dulwich Estate scheme

Much of Dulwich falls under the Dulwich Estate's scheme of management, which can require consent for alterations and some external work. Make sure your agent knows how it applies to your home.

Southwark's licensing rules

Dulwich is in Southwark, which runs its own property licensing schemes. Check the council's rules for your exact address, and find out whose name is on any licence.
