Letting in Finchley

What to check before you pick an agent in 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's licensing rules

N3 is in Barnet, which licenses smaller shared houses across the whole borough on top of national HMO licensing. Check the council's rules for your property, 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 Finchley.

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

Finchley Central station

Finchley Central is on the Northern line in fare zone 4, about 25 minutes from Charing Cross.

Ballards Lane

Regents Park Road becomes Ballards Lane at the station bridge, and the shops along both roads near the station make up the local high street.

Victoria Park

Opened in 1902 as Finchley's first public park, Victoria Park on Ballards Lane has tennis courts, a bowls club and a café, and hosts the Finchley Carnival each July.

Questions

Letting agents in Finchley, explained.

How much do letting agents charge in 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 Finchley?

It depends on the property. Larger HMOs need a licence everywhere in England, and Barnet licenses smaller shared houses across the borough. Check Barnet Council's rules for your 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.
