Letting in Muswell Hill

What to check before you pick an agent in Muswell Hill.

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.

Haringey's licensing rules

Most of N10 is in Haringey, which licenses shared homes across the whole borough. A small part is in Barnet, which also licenses smaller shared houses. Check the rules for 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 Muswell Hill.

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

Edwardian streets

Most homes date from one burst of building around the turn of the 20th century, giving whole streets of red-brick Edwardian houses and flats.

The Broadway

Muswell Hill Broadway and Fortis Green Road keep their original façades above street level, with shops, cafés and restaurants along both.

Alexandra Palace

Alexandra Palace, which opened in 1873, and its park are on the doorstep, with Highgate Wood on the other side of the hill.

No station of its own

Muswell Hill has no tube or rail station. The nearest tube stations include Highgate, East Finchley and Bounds Green, and Great Northern trains run from Alexandra Palace.

Do I need a licence to let in Muswell Hill?

It depends on the property. Haringey licenses shared homes across the borough, and Barnet does the same for smaller shared houses on its side. Check the right 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.
