Three services, one clear rate for each
Every instruction is led by a director, whichever service you choose. H Prestige Estates Ltd is not VAT registered, so every amount on this page is the full amount you pay; no VAT is added to any fee.
Fully managed
10%
of the monthly rent, deducted from each payment we collect
The property, the tenant and the paperwork handled in full, with a director as your point of contact for the life of the tenancy.
Rent collection
7%
of the monthly rent, deducted from each payment we collect
We secure the right tenant, set the tenancy up and handle the money; day-to-day management stays with you.
Let only
6%
of the annual rent, payable once your tenant is in
We find, reference and move in the right tenant, then hand management back to you.
What your commission covers
The same standard runs through all three services; the difference is how much of the day to day you hand to us. The fixed charges further down this page apply to every service level unless stated otherwise, and your terms of business confirm the schedule that applies to your instruction.

We may receive a referral fee or commission when we introduce you or your property to another business, for example a solicitor, referencing agency, EPC provider, inventory clerk or contractor, and we retain any such income earned while acting as your agent. Vetted contractors may pay us a referral fee of up to 25% of their invoice; that fee is within the contractor’s invoice and does not change the amount you pay. You are always free to use your own providers, and the basis of any referral arrangement is disclosed in your terms of business. Our terms of business page sets this out in full.
Every fee is confirmed in your terms of business before any instruction begins. If you would like the schedule explained against your own property, call the lettings team on 01344 283300 and we will go through it with you.
