Sales Fees

At Garton Jones Estate Agents we have three sales services we can offer as:

Sole Agency

Fee: 2.10% inc VAT (1.75% + VAT)

Our most popular service whereby we are acting solely for a minimum period of 3 months to secure you a buyer. Beyond that time, you must serve 2 weeks’ notice to us to change this instruction.

Joint Agency

Fee: 3% inc VAT (2.5% + VAT)

Garton Jones working alongside another agent of your choice as above, but on a winner takes all basis i.e. whichever of the two agents agrees and then completes your sale gets, the full sales fee. It is usually us so you might want to reconsider taking the sole agency option.

Multiple Agency

Fee: 3.60% inc VAT (3% + VAT)

Garton Jones acting alongside as many agents as you choose to instruct, again on a winner takes all basis as per the joint agency fees above.

Landlord Fees

Letting only service

Fee: 9.60% inc VAT (8% + VAT)

This service applies to landlords who wish for us to find the tenant but choose to manage their own property for the duration of the tenancy. We assist with your rent renewal, but you are the day-to-day point of contact for the tenant once they have taken possession.

For example, if the rent is £100 per month the fee would be £9.60 per month.

Letting Only Service with Rent Collection

Fee: 12% inc VAT (10% + VAT)

This is the same as the letting-only service, but we collect the rent on the landlord’s behalf and will pay it over as it\'s collected. The landlord remains the main point of contact from day to day but again we assist with advising on the renewal.

For example, if the rent is £100 per month the fee would be £12 per month.

Management Service

Fee: 14.40% inc VAT (12% + VAT)

This service is the same as the letting-only and rent collection but Garton Jones becomes the sole point of contact for both the landlord and tenant. Both parties will be assigned a property manager as soon as the tenancy commences who will then take care of handling any problems that may arise on behalf of the landlord. The property manager will visit the property twice a year to inspect it and make sure all is in order and will ensure service charges and ground rent invoices are paid from the rent if requested.

For example, if the rent is £100 per month the fee would be £14.40 per month.

Short Let service

Fee: 30% inc VAT (25% + VAT)

This service applies to landlords who wish to let their property for any period less than 90 days (3 months).
