Landlord Fees
Clear charges. Clear service.
A percentage is only useful when a landlord can see what sits behind it.
Habitat Lettings does not add a percentage mark-up to contractor invoices. Where a separate charge applies for additional work, it should be shown openly and agreed in accordance with the terms of business.
