Letting in Greenwich

What to check before you pick an agent in Greenwich.

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

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

New-build flats have extra rules

If you let a flat on the Peninsula or in another newer block, check the lease and building rules on letting, and ask the agent how they deal with the managing agent.

The area

Why renters look at Greenwich.

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

Greenwich Park

Greenwich Park, the Royal Observatory and the views from the hill over the river and Canary Wharf are a daily draw for tenants.

Maritime Greenwich

The Cutty Sark, Greenwich Market and the riverside around the town centre give Greenwich a lively centre that tenants want to live near.

Jubilee line, DLR and rail

The Jubilee line at North Greenwich, the DLR and Southeastern trains from Greenwich and Maze Hill give tenants several routes into town.

Greenwich Peninsula

Greenwich Peninsula's new apartment blocks, next to the O2, have added thousands of flats aimed at professionals working in Canary Wharf and the City.

Questions

Letting agents in Greenwich, explained.

How much do letting agents charge in Greenwich?

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 Greenwich?

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.
