Our Liverpool Property Management Fees
Our flat fee structure is based on the monthly rent of the property. The charge applies per managed property and is paid separately by standing order.
| Monthly rent | Management fee | Inspection contribution | Total per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Below £500 | £44 minimum | £21 | £65 minimum |
| £500 to £624 | £56 | £21 | £77 |
| £625 to £749 | £69 | £21 | £90 |
| £750 to £874 | £81 | £21 | £102 |
| £875 and above | £94 maximum | £21 | £115 maximum |
The £21 monthly inspection contribution covers two documented property inspections each year, normally about six months apart. Additional services and third party costs are separate.
Management fees capped from £875 pcm rent
With a percentage fee, the agent’s charge normally increases as the rent rises. Once your property reaches £875 pcm, our management fee has already reached its maximum of £94 per month.
Whether your rent is £900, £1,200 or £2,000 pcm, the management fee stays at £94. That gives you greater certainty over costs and means more of future rental growth remains with you.
Maximum recurring monthly charge
£115
Per property, per month.
£94 management + £21 inspections.
Tenant sourcing, inventories and other separately required services are additional.
What happens to the management fee during a void?
During a genuine full calendar month with no tenancy in force, the management element is suspended while the property remains under our management. The £21 monthly inspection contribution continues because property oversight and compliance monitoring remain in place.
Tenant sourcing and separately instructed work remain chargeable. If a tenancy is still in force but the tenant has not paid, the normal management charge continues because tenancy management and arrears work are still required.
