For a first-time landlord, how do I effectively compare letting agent fee structures (e.g., percentage vs. fixed, inclusive vs. itemised) to ensure I'm getting value for money and not overpaying?
Quick Answer
First-time landlords should compare letting agent fees by understanding service inclusions, asking for a full breakdown of costs, clarifying hidden charges, and considering both percentage and fixed fee models to ensure value.
