Letting in Whetstone

What to check before you pick an agent in Whetstone.

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.

Barnet's HMO licensing

N20 is in Barnet, whose additional licensing scheme for smaller shared houses runs until October 2027. Check whether your property needs a licence before you let to sharers.

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.

Questions

Letting agents in Whetstone, explained.

How much do letting agents charge in Whetstone?

Across London, the agents we checked publish full-management fees of 12% to 20.4% of the rent including VAT. Your comparison shows the published fees of the agents that cover your address.

Do I need a licence to let in Whetstone?

Only for some shared homes. Larger HMOs need a licence everywhere in England, and Barnet licenses smaller shared houses across the borough. Check Barnet Council's rules for your address.

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.
