Letting Agent & Property Management in Dereham

Our Let Only service is 100% of the first month's rent with a minimum fee of £800. No VAT is charged. This covers rent appraisal, property advertising on Rightmove and Zoopla, accompanied viewings, full tenant referencing, Right to Rent checks, tenancy agreement preparation, deposit registration with DPS, collecting move-in funds, and key handover.

Full Management is 12% of monthly rent collected with no set-up fee and no VAT. It includes everything in Let Only plus rent collection transferred to you within 24 hours, at least 2 property inspections per year with written reports, maintenance management, contractor instruction without markup, professional Schedule of Condition with photographs, annual rent reviews, serving legal notices, and end of tenancy deposit release.

No. We do not add any commission or markup to contractor invoices. All maintenance and repair charges are passed through at cost exactly as per the contractor's invoice. This is a key difference from many letting agents who add a percentage on top.

No. Just Lettings does not charge VAT on any of its fees. The Let Only fee of 100% of first month's rent and the Full Management fee of 12% are both VAT-free. This makes our fees genuinely competitive compared to agents who quote lower percentages but then add 20% VAT.

No. Tenancy renewals are completely free of charge with Just Lettings. There is no administration fee for renewing or extending a tenancy agreement.

Rent is transferred to landlords within 24 hours of collection from the tenant. We provide clear monthly statements and annual tax summaries for your records.
