We do not, have never and will never pay staff commission to let properties.

We want to make sure that the decision to select a Tenant is made in the absolute best interests of the Landlord and the future successful management of the let.

We also want to ensure that we only take on properties of a standard that matches the requirements of the Tenants we select.

Everyone knows that Estate Agents are paid commission to sell properties and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. However, many Estate Agents have turned to letting during the current recession and also pay commission to let!

We believe this is disastrous and moves the quality of let from judgment to financial gain.

In addition, our research shows us that most other letting agents also pay staff commission.

1) You Care About The Tenant Selection

Whether you are an investor or a residential Landlord letting your home, you will care about who your Tenant is. And how they look after your property.

2) Our Staff/Experience - Letting over four decades and sharing over 170 years experience

It seems a strange thing to boast about but many of our staff are aged over 40! We offer higher salaries than our competitors. This means that we employ a Team with (what we consider to be) more people experience which is essential in choosing a suitable Tenant for your property.

Non Commission Based Letting Remains Focused On Quality
  • Commission/Targets - Our Concerns
    • You cannot “make” someone rent a property they are not comfortable with unless you offer some kind of concession
    • Commission could cloud judgment in selecting the right tenant
    • Letting targets are focused more on the agency than the landlord
    • Always ask “do you pay commission?”
