How much does North Point charge landlords?

Let only is 75% of the first month’s rent (minimum £495). Full management is 12% of the rent collected, with no set-up fee. House share (HMO) management is 14% of the rent collected plus £120 for each room we let. No VAT is added and there is no set-up fee. If we find your tenant there is a 6 month minimum, then one month’s notice. Tenants never pay fees to us.

What 12% means in poundsOn a £900 a month home, full management costs £108 a month. At 14.4% including VAT, a common rate among Tameside and Manchester agents, the same home would cost £129.60 a month, usually plus set-up and compliance fees.
