Letting in Peckham

What to check before you pick an agent in Peckham.

In a fast market it's tempting to go with whoever finds a tenant first. These four checks show what that 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.

Southwark's licensing rules

Peckham is in Southwark, which runs its own property licensing schemes. Check the council's rules for your exact address, and find out whose name is on any licence before you switch agent.

Letting to sharers

Peckham is popular with sharers. If three or more unrelated people will live in your property, ask the agent whether it needs an HMO licence and how they'll manage it.

The area

Why renters look at Peckham.

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

Peckham Rye station

Peckham Rye is served by the Windrush line, Southern, Thameslink and Southeastern, with direct trains to London Bridge, Victoria and Blackfriars. Few stations in south London have as many routes.

Rye Lane

Rye Lane's shops, food stalls, bars and restaurants are a big part of Peckham's appeal, especially to younger tenants moving out from more central London.

Peckham Rye and Burgess Park

Peckham Rye Park and Common sit to the south and Burgess Park to the north-west, so most homes are a short walk from open space.

A mix of homes

Peckham has Victorian terraces, conversion flats, ex-local-authority blocks and new builds. Leasehold flats often have letting rules in the lease, so check yours before you instruct an agent.

Questions

Letting agents in Peckham, explained.

How much do letting agents charge in Peckham?

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 Peckham?

Possibly. Southwark runs its own licensing schemes, which can cover HMOs and some single-family lets depending on where the property is. Check Southwark 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.
