Letting in Lee

What to check before you pick an agent in Lee.

With longer tenancies, an agent's fee adds up over years. These four checks show what each one 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.

Lewisham or Greenwich?

Lee is split between Lewisham and the Royal Borough of Greenwich, and each council runs its own licensing schemes. Check which 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 Lee.

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

Manor House Gardens

Manor House Gardens, with its lake, café and historic library, is the green heart of Lee, and the open heath at Blackheath is a short walk north.

Trains into town

Lee and Hither Green stations have Southeastern trains to London Bridge, Charing Cross and Cannon Street.

Family homes

Lee's Victorian and Edwardian houses and interwar family homes offer more space than similar homes closer in, which appeals to families.

A neighbourly feel

The shops, cafés and pubs around Lee High Road and Burnt Ash Hill give the area a local, neighbourly feel.

Questions

Letting agents in Lee, explained.

How much do letting agents charge in Lee?

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 Lee?

It depends on whether your address is in Lewisham or Greenwich. Lewisham runs selective licensing in parts of the borough, and Greenwich has its own rules. Check the right council's scheme 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.
