Know Your Landlord Fees Upfront

A clear landlord fees breakdown covering management costs and additional services, so you always know what you’re paying for.

How Our Landlord Fees Work

Metro Capital Lettings believes in transparent pricing, so landlords always understand what they are paying for. Our landlord fees are structured around two core services: single let management and HMO management, each with its own landlord management fee percentage based on the property type and number of occupants.

Alongside our fully managed fees percentage, additional landlord services such as referencing, inventory, and compliance certificates are charged separately, giving landlords full control over what they need. Unlike some letting agent commission structures, we avoid hidden letting agent fees, so every cost is set out clearly from the start.

Whether you are comparing property management fees UK-wide or reviewing your current landlord fees UK, our full landlord fees breakdown below gives you the exact figures for your property.
