This charge applies where we are required to instruct legal representatives in relation to possession proceedings or during an eviction process. It covers our time, administration, and professional oversight in instructing and liaising with the appointed lawyers. This fee does not include court fees, enforcement fees, solicitor's fees, counsel's fees, or any other third party disbursements, which remain payable separately by the landlord unless covered under a relevant protection policy.

Rent and Legal Protection

This is an optional additional service for landlords who want extra protection.

Optional Monthly Add-on

Subject to policy terms, this may include rent protection, legal expenses cover, eviction support, and assistance with rent arrears recovery.

All fees shown above are inclusive of VAT. Each fee is described clearly so landlords can understand the service being provided and the purpose of the charge.

If a service is arranged through a third party contractor, the relevant third party cost will be confirmed where applicable.

If you have any questions at all, we are always happy to talk things through and make sure everything is clear before you proceed.
