Questions

Letting agents in Hackney, explained.

How much do letting agents charge in Hackney?

Across London, the agents we checked publish full-management fees of 12% to 20.4% of the rent including VAT. We don't have a separate Hackney figure, so your report shows the published fees of the agents near your address.

Do I need a licence to let in Hackney?

Very likely. Since May 2026 Hackney has required a licence for most private lets in 17 of its wards and for all shared homes. Part of E8 is in Islington, which has its own rules, so check your council's map for your exact address.

Does this page cover the whole borough of Hackney?

No. It covers the E8 postcode. Other parts of the borough have their own pages, including Clapton (E5) and Homerton (E9).
