110% letting fee?

From: J Parker


I just changed property managers to discover that my new pm charges 110% of the weeks' rent as a letting and reletting fee. Has anyone come across this before, as I considered 100% to be enough (and standard)?
She claims it's because it's the GST that's added that makes the difference.
Cheers, Jacque :)

Just went through this myself.

All the agents I spoke with charged gst on the 1 week let fee.

That was for a casual let only, but I'd imagine that it's across the board.

Hi Jacque,

One week letting fee is very standard, and unfortunately, no one is going to subsidise the GST.


Kind regards

JOANNA

Jacque,

as per the other posts, I usually pay 1 week letting fee, although I have been quoted when shopping around for PMs in the past a 2 weeks letting fee (although the PM that charges 2 weeks letting fee may charges less commission)... You will need to do your summs, consisting of the letting fee & the commission...

Cheers,

MannyB.
