- Prestbury-based independent lettings & property management
For landlords
Good property management is borne out of commitment, knowledge, care and professionalism. When you put your house into someone else’s hands, you should feel confident and totally at ease.
Independent, 100% owner-run
We treat all our houses as if they were our own. Whether you’re looking for let-only or the benefit of our fully managed service, we understand the importance of finding the right tenant.
Just as your house is your own, LetEmma with John S. Brown & Son Ltd. is owned 100% by those who run it. By appointing us you have our assurance that your home will be properly, honestly and professionally tended by people who care. Our good reputation really matters to us.
Landlord fees
Choose a let-only or fully managed service. Fees are based on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement only (i.e. 6–12 month lets).
1 month's rent
An arrangement fee equal to one month’s rent for arranging the tenancy – finding the tenant, serving notices, preparing the lease and taking references.
Example: at £1,000 per calendar month, the fee is £1,000.
Most popular
50% + 12%
An arrangement fee of 50% of one month’s rent for the initial period, then a management fee of 12% of the rent received each month for the whole tenancy – including rent collection, bill payments and the day-to-day management of your property.
Example: at £1,000 per calendar month, the arrangement fee is £500 and the management fee £120 for each month of the tenancy.
Should the property be let at a higher or lower rent, the fees are correspondingly higher or lower. We are not currently VAT registered, so no VAT applies.
Through our referencing partner HomeLet we can secure rent recovery for most tenancies (subject to qualifying criteria and satisfactory references): 100% of monthly rent covered in arrears for up to six months, no policy excess, and 50% of monthly rent for up to two months after vacant possession. Currently £309.12 per year.
Inventories are carried out by an independent inventory clerk. The fee depends on the size of the property and whether it is furnished, and is quoted individually.
£250.00 for new leases when a tenancy is extended for an additional fixed term. There is no charge when an existing tenancy converts to a periodic tenancy.
