No Hidden Fees
We understand that one of the things that irritate landlords is a constant string of unforeseen fees! With Oscar Knight, the fees we quote are the fees you pay. No additional ‘agreement fee’, fees for drawing up the tenancy, check in/out fees, inventory fees, overseas admin fees – they’re all included in our simple fee structure:
- Managed properties: 14.4% (12% + VAT) plus £200 float for minor maintenance
- Let only: 9.6% (8% + VAT)

Renewal fees
Unlike some agents, we’re upfront about our costs for renewing a tenancy (when existing tenants decide to stay beyond the initial term of the tenancy).
And unlike some agents, who charge the initial rental fee all over again, we charge just 3.6% (3% + VAT).
Example: a tenancy of £1000pcm, renewed for 12 months, costs just £360 + VAT = £432.
