How much will it cost to let my property?
The main costs you’ll need to consider when letting your property are:
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), we can organise this for you if you do not already have one - this is a cost of £84+VAT
An inventory and check-in report – this needs to be carried out before your tenant moves into the property. Again, costs vary due to property size.
Commission Fee – This varies in percentage dependent on the level of service you require (Full Property Management, Part Management or Tenant Find Only).

Who will carry out viewings and when will they happen?
At Moginie James we always accompany all viewings during office opening hours, with our offices open 9am-5.30pm Monday-Friday and 9am-5pm on Saturdays. 

Should I be present at viewings?
Only in some rare circumstances would you be asked to carry out a viewing as many tenants feel more relaxed when the owner isn’t there.

I’m interested in having my property managed – how much does it cost?
Full Property Management is our most popular package type, as Landlords of Fully Managed properties benefit from a number of automatic inclusions as part of our standard management fee, such as;

How much deposit should the tenant give and what happens to it?
Four to six weeks. This is to be paid on signing the Tenancy Agreement. Within 14 days of receipt, the deposit will be registered with a tenancy deposit protection scheme.

Who is responsible for arranging an inventory?
You are responsible but at Moginie James we can organise an inventory for you.

When do I receive my rent from the tenant?
You should receive your rent by standing order on the rental due date every month.
The due date is usually the day the tenant moved in.
