Landlord fees in Doncaster
If you are letting a home in Doncaster, you should know what you are paying for before you instruct — tenant-find, rent collection, or full management.
Why landlord fees feel opaque
Many landlords only discover extras after they have signed. Marketing fees, inventory costs, renewal charges and “admin” lines can make two agents look similar until you compare inclusions. Our job is to make the comparison easy.
Letting packages we discuss with Doncaster landlords
Tenant-find
Best if you want to manage day-to-day yourself once a good tenant is in.
- Marketing the property to let
- Viewings and applicant handling
- Referencing and Right to Rent checks
- Tenancy setup support
Rent collection
For landlords who want help with income and arrears without full maintenance responsibility.
- Rent collection and chasing
- Payment statements
- Early warning when rent is late
- Less operational load than full management
Full management
Hands-off option for landlords who want Kerrigans to run the property.
- Everything in tenant-find, plus ongoing management
- Inspections and maintenance coordination
- Compliance reminders (gas, EICR, EPC, deposit protection)
- Day-to-day tenant communication
What usually affects the fee
- Whether you need tenant-find only or full management
- Property type, rent level and condition
- Whether there is an existing tenant to take over
- Any works, licensing or compliance catch-up needed first
What you should walk away knowing
After a rental valuation or landlord consultation you should know:
- Which package fits how hands-on you want to be
- What is included vs charged separately (e.g. inventory, renewals)
- How and when fees are charged
- Next steps to instruct without pressure
Sales fees vs landlord fees
Selling a house and letting a house are priced differently. If you need both, we separate the conversations so you are not comparing unlike-for-like quotes. For sales-side costs see estate agent fees in Doncaster.
People also ask
How much do letting agents charge landlords in Doncaster?
It depends on the package (tenant-find, rent collection or full management) and your property. Kerrigans gives a clear written quote at valuation rather than a vague website percentage that may not apply.
Is full management more expensive than tenant-find?
Usually yes, because it covers ongoing rent, maintenance coordination and compliance support — not just finding the first tenant. Many single-property landlords prefer it for the time saved.
Are there upfront landlord fees?
We explain any setup or marketing costs before you instruct. You should never be surprised by a fee that was not discussed.
Can I get a landlord fee quote without listing yet?
