Letting in East Finchley

What to check before you pick an agent in East Finchley.

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.

Barnet or Haringey

Most of N2 is in Barnet, which licenses smaller shared houses across the whole borough. A small part is in Haringey, which runs its own schemes. Check which council covers your address.

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 East Finchley.

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

The archer at the station

East Finchley station, on the Northern line's High Barnet branch and marked by its Art Deco archer statue, has trains every few minutes to the City and the West End.

Woods on every side

Cherry Tree Wood is opposite the station, with Coldfall Wood to the north and Highgate Wood, Queen's Wood and Hampstead Heath to the south.

The Phoenix Cinema

The independent Phoenix on the High Road is described as the oldest purpose-built cinema in the UK.

Terraces to mansions

Homes range from 19th-century terraces and large 1930s houses to the mansions of The Bishop's Avenue, so the right rent can vary a lot from street to street.

Questions

Letting agents in East Finchley, explained.

How much do letting agents charge in East Finchley?

Across London, the agents we checked publish full-management fees of 12% to 20.4% of the rent including VAT. Your comparison shows the published fees of the agents that cover your address.

Do I need a licence to let in East Finchley?

It depends on the property. Larger HMOs need a licence everywhere in England, and Barnet licenses smaller shared houses across the borough. If your home is on the Haringey side, check Haringey's rules instead.

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.
