“Ban on letting agent tenant fees” 

 

Landlords hit as Chancellor shifts letting agent charges away from tenants

 

Despite the housing minister MP Gavin Barwell saying in September that it was a “bad idea” it was confirmed in the Chancellor’s, MP Phillip Hammond’s Autumn Statement of 23rd November that letting agents’ fees levied on tenants will be banned *as soon as possible. Prime Minister Theresa May has also voted against such a ban, twice, in the Commons.

Richard Price, executive director at the UK Association of Letting Agents (UKALA), said: ‘A ban on agent fees may prevent tenants from receiving a bill at the start of the tenancy, but the unavoidable outcome will be an increase in the proportion of costs which will be met by landlords, which in turn will be passed on to tenants through higher rents.’ 

The Letting People are proud members of UKALA, since 2002, and also members of government-accredited redress schemes – and, as such we are a company that is at the forefront of best practice.  Obviously we will continue to have to charge a fair and reasonable fee for the work that is done to maintain our high quality of services in full compliance for both the landlord and the tenant.  

Sadly, some less scrupulous letting and estate agents may have charged over-the-top tenant and landlord fees for many years – and have thereforebrought the lettings industry into disrepute. We will continue to work with our landlords to ensure that our fees remain reasonable and competitive – but sadly it is expected that the tenant services – currently covered by the tenant’s fees – will result in these costs being transferred to our landlords.  We will notify you as soon as possible what this will mean in terms of increased costs for you to consider inevitable reasonable rent increases.

*The Letting People await a clear directive on this – no exact details and timescales have been released yet.  As soon as we have clear guidelines on the exact measures that will be taken, we will announce these as quickly as possible.

If you would like to voice your opinion to your local MP about these

changes – please do get in touch with us.

Anniversary celebrations announcements

by Uncategorised

2014 sees some special anniversaries here at The Letting People.

12 busy years –

Since the Letting People were first founded in March 2002, in a very small office (approx. 60 square feet of useable space) in Leamington Spa!  Weekly newspaper advertising was crucial, the cost of mobile phone calls were extortionate, and hardly any of our customers had access to email… today internet advertising is crucial, mobile phone calls are sensibly priced, and we expect everyone to have daily access to email (or even Smart phone or tablet communications!)

10 happy years –

Since Anthony & Caroline Kempster, the co-founders of The Letting People were married in May 2004, in Warwick Register Office, with the reception in The Restaurant in the Park, Jephson Gardens. Our photographer didn’t have a digital camera – so please excuse the blurry picture!  This year we celebrate our Tin Wedding Anniversary so we are off to visit a tin mine in Cornwall whilst on our second honeymoon!

10 ‘team’ years –

Since Christine Kelly and Michele Thomas came to join us in our second office premises in Leamington Spa in Holly Walk.  We’ve been through another two office moves together, and today are all incredibly proud of what we have achieved in the last decade.

2 growth years –

Since Ziaull Hussain came to join us – first on a year’s undergraduate work placement, and now as a full-time Lettings Co-ordinator who commutes daily, through all weathers, to Leamington from Birmingham.

1 franchise year –

Since Philip Rayner and Michael Lomax joined The Letting People as our first franchise branch in Milton Keynes.  With their combined experience gained in the construction industry, and marketing and design knowledge, their partnership is ideally suited to develop their lettings business in a thriving city.
