Letting in Walworth

What to check before you pick an agent in Walworth.

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.

Southwark's licensing rules

Walworth 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.

New-build flats have extra rules

If you let a flat in one of the newer blocks around Elephant & Castle, check the lease and building rules on letting, and ask the agent how they deal with the managing agent.

Elephant & Castle's new homes

The Elephant & Castle regeneration has added new homes, shops and green space, drawing professionals who want to live close to the centre.

Questions

Letting agents in Walworth, explained.

How much do letting agents charge in Walworth?

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 Walworth?

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.
