Letting in Woolwich

What to check before you pick an agent in Woolwich.

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.

Greenwich's licensing rules

Woolwich is in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, which runs its own 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 at the Royal Arsenal or in another newer block, check the lease and building rules on letting, and ask the agent how they deal with the managing agent.

The area

Why renters look at Woolwich.

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

The Elizabeth line

Woolwich has the Elizabeth line to Canary Wharf, the City and the West End, plus the DLR at Woolwich Arsenal and Southeastern trains. Put it at the top of your listing.

Royal Arsenal Riverside

The historic Royal Arsenal site on the river has been turned into thousands of flats, with restaurants, a theatre and riverside walks.

The riverfront

The Thames Path and the free Woolwich Ferry across the river make the waterfront a big part of everyday life here.

Woolwich Common

Woolwich Common and the woods around Shooters Hill give tenants plenty of green space just south of the town centre.

Questions

Letting agents in Woolwich, explained.

How much do letting agents charge in Woolwich?

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 Woolwich?

Possibly. The Royal Borough of Greenwich runs its own licensing schemes, which can cover HMOs depending on the property. Check the 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.
