At Carters Rentals we aim to ensure that tenants have as much information about our fees as possible before making the decision to rent a property through us.

We will charge the following fees (all inclusive of VAT at the prevailing rate):

Agency Fee of £135.00 per property (payable when the property is reserved). This is our general administration fee for processing your application.

Reference Fee of £120.00 per tenant/guarantor (payable when the property is reserved). This fee is for undertaking all the necessary references for each tenant and if necessary the guarantor. This may include credit checks, bank reference, verification of income and previous Landlord, etc.

Contract Fee of £120.00 per property (payable on signature of the Tenancy Agreement). This fee is for drawing up the Tenancy Agreement

Other fees may become payable during your tenancy and we are happy to discuss these with you prior to you taking up a tenancy. An additional deposit will be required if the Landlord agrees for you to have a pet at the property
