As a regulated agency, Gordon Blair Financial Services is committed to full compliance with lettings legislation, ensuring that all fees are clearly displayed online and in our offices. This guarantees our clients a comprehensive understanding of rental process costs before beginning their journey with us. All prices are quoted inclusive of VAT at the current rate.

We engage a third-party referencing company to carry out thorough background checks on all tenants and occupants of our properties. These reference fees include obtaining references from previous landlords, employment verification, credit checks, and legally mandated Right to Rent checks in England.

Our administration fee covers the preparation, exchange, and execution of all tenancy documentation, including the necessary legal notices. Please note that if the tenancy does not proceed due to applicants failing the referencing process or withdrawing their offer for any reason, the fees for referencing and administration will still be due.

Should there be a change of occupant during the tenancy, landlord consent is required, and a new tenancy must be established with successful referencing. Charges will apply according to the initial 'start of tenancy' fee schedule.

Any unpaid rent is subject to a penalty as outlined in your tenancy agreement. Additionally, we charge an administration fee to cover the costs associated with pursuing overdue rent.

PLEASE NOTE: At the end of a tenancy, it is the tenant’s responsibility to ensure the property is professionally cleaned. If this is not done, a third-party cleaning agency will be engaged, and the tenant will be liable for the cleaning costs. As these are third-party services, costs cannot be guaranteed and will vary based on the size of the property and the extent of the cleaning required.

Unless otherwise stipulated in the tenancy agreement, the tenant is responsible for the cost of the inventory check-out. We use third-party agencies for check-outs, and the costs will vary accordingly.
