Let Only (tenant find) in Stoke-on-Trent
We find, reference and move in the right tenant. Once the tenancy starts, you run it yourself. One-off fee: £420 including VAT (£350 + VAT).
What's included
- Rental valuation and advice on preparing the property
- Matching the property to tenants from our own network
- Advertising on portals such as Zoopla where needed
- Viewings
- Full referencing and right-to-rent checks
- Tenancy agreement
What you handle after move-in
With Let Only, you become the tenant's point of contact. That means collecting rent, arranging repairs, inspections, protecting the deposit within 30 days, serving the right information and notices, and keeping gas, electrical and EPC certificates current.
If you'd rather not, Full Management covers all of it for 12% of the rent including VAT.
Tenant Find and Let Only are the same service; you'll see both names used by agents.
How Let Only works
- Valuation and preparation. We agree the rent with you and advise on anything that needs doing before the property is marketed, including certificates. See preparing a property for letting.
- Finding tenants. We start with people already registered with us and recommended through our network, then advertise on portals such as Zoopla if needed.
- Viewings and referencing. We show the property, then reference applicants and carry out right-to-rent checks. You make the final decision.
- Tenancy agreement. We prepare the agreement on the periodic terms that apply since the Renters' Rights Act.
- Handover. Once the tenancy starts, you become the tenant's point of contact and run the tenancy from there.
Is Let Only right for you?
Let Only suits landlords who live near the property, have time to deal with repairs and rent, and are confident with the legal side. If you're further away, have several properties, or would rather not take the calls, Full Management is usually the better fit. Our guide Should I manage my rental property myself? will help you decide.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Let Only and Tenant Find?
Nothing. They are two names for the same service: the agent finds and references the tenant and sets up the tenancy, then the landlord manages it.
How much does Let Only cost?
Our Let Only fee is a one-off £420 including VAT (£350 + VAT), charged when the tenancy starts. There's no monthly fee.
Do you protect the deposit with Let Only?
With Let Only, the landlord protects the deposit in a government-approved scheme within 30 days and gives the tenant the prescribed information. Deposit registration is included in our Full Management service.
Can I switch from Let Only to Full Management later?
Yes. If you find running the tenancy takes more time than expected, we can take over management. A one-off set-up fee applies for a new property, as listed on our fees page.
