- +Extra Interim Inspection - £85 (£55 Rooms-Only)
Extra inspections can be booked on demand, for instance, when the landlord wants us to check a particular feature of the property or the garden. This is also the opportunity for tenants to raise any concerns they have with the property. During our inspection, we ensure the property is properly maintained. The Report (View PDF) you receive after each visit shows the property's standard of upkeep and complies with state-of-the-art legal requirements.
An extra inspection is also required when the council inspects the property for the purpose of the licence.
For Rooms-Only, this is required when a fire hazard must be assessed or other regulatory requirements must be met to ensure the property is safe and compliant. Inspections of a room or the communal areas are charged at £55.

The authorisation letter required for paying suppliers, e.g. Utility Companies or City Council in the name of the landlord is charged at £60 per supplier. This does not include any claim or legal proceeding, nor any mortgage or insurance contract, which are the direct responsibility of the landlord.

- +Pet Policy - Various prices
The RRA 2025 allows tenants to request a pet in their rented property, provided it is suitable, and they agree to our Pet Policy. To reach a binding decision, we will gather the documentation and issue the agreements as follows:
- Negotiation with the tenant, enquiries, and gathering of supporting documents: £140.
- Signature of the Pet Policy as an addendum to the Tenancy Agreement: £90.

We strongly advise landlords to obtain specialised insurance cover for pet damage, in case the deposit is insufficient. Enquire for recommendations.

- +HMO Bills: Clause of Fair Usage & Price increase - £375
If you have an HMO with bills included and you are worried that your tenants might overuse the utilities or that the energy prices might go up suddenly and leave you out of balance, we can help. Our HMO agreements come with a clause of Fair Usage for utilities and a clause of Price Variation by default. With these, you can claim a rent increase for these reasons at any point in the tenancy. We can help calculate the baseline charges per tenant based on historical data, and the price per energy unit at the point of signing the tenancy contract, so that any significant increase in usage or price further down the line can trigger an extra rent charge. The initial calculations to include the price ranges in the contract cost £375. Note that if action is required to recover charges from tenants, this will trigger further charges for you as well, so we will discuss this with you before taking action. Any future calculation will incur a fee.
- +Anti-Social Behaviour - £125 per complaint
When tenants or a third party issues a complaint relating to a tenancy, we will assist the parties in getting the advice and support they need. Our agents will not intervene directly in the situation, although we will do our utmost to resolve the problem and suggest any remedial action that the circumstances require. The process costs £125 per complaint and includes the following:
- Issue the notice of acknowledgement to the victim, the perpetrator, and the landlord.
- Investigate with all involved parties and gather evidence.
- Report to all parties with our findings.
When the tenant signs an Agreement not to reoffend, the Statement costs £65.
If the situation escalates, third parties may need to get involved, resulting in additional costs.
- +Termination fee - £295
When the landlord takes their property back and doesn't require our services any longer, we issue a final invoice for terminating our contractual relationship and sending over any pending documents that the landlord may require.
