Mare Street, Hackney

An administration fee of £150.00 (inclusive of VAT) is chargeable per tenant which includes every aspect of the referencing and is payable upon signing of a legally binding tenancy. 88 Estate Agency does not charge any additional fees. We operate a fair fee policy whereby we believe a standard fee per tenant is fairer than charging an agreement fee, regardless of the type of property. That way, whether you are moving into a studio or a five bedroom house, every tenant pays the same.

Fees applying to all new tenancies from 1st June 2019

We may charge a tenant any or all of the following when required:

1. the rent;
2. a security deposit with a maximum of 5 weeks rent, or 6 weeks on a property with rent over £50,000 per year;

4. default fee for late payment of rent (after 14 days);
5. reasonable charges for lost keys or security fobs;
6. payments associated with contract variation, at £50 or reasonable costs incurred if higher, when requested by the tenant;
7. payments associated with early termination of the tenancy, when requested by the tenant; and
