Battersea letting agents can strongly benefit from Conservative's counterproposal, as this is an opportunity for the industry to show the public that the fees are not as arbitrary as originally perceived, and that these do serve a purpose.
Fees letting agents charge usually go for services rendered that include managing private property for landlords, advertising properties, touring potential tenants, and finding and vetting desirable tenants. Fees are charged for services rendered and quality of service dictates whether a fee is going to be relatively high or low. Quality of a product or service always comes at a price.
Tenants can take advantage of the ongoing discussions about rent and consumer rights protection. Companies such as Manage My Property are open and have been doing it in practice already to inform customers about the range of fees they charge. Transparency is needed in the sector today,and this is a tool to foster goodwill among tenants, letting agents, and landlords.
