At Sulets we pride ourselves on being honest and open about our landlord fees.

Sulets offer two types of service to landlords, here is an overview of what is included and how they compare.

Our terms of business can also be viewed here.


Sulets Leased Service

You lease your property to Sulets for a fixed term, and we guarantee your rent.

Sulets will then sub-let your property to a group of tenants and take over the day-to-day management of the property. Your property will be returned to you at the end of the lease empty and in a similar condition to the start of the lease, allowing for fair wear and tear.

Sulets pays for all safety certificates that expire during the tenancy including the gas safety record, the periodic inspection/fixed wiring test and the portable appliance test. The HMO licence is not covered.

You will need to ensure that you provide valid safety certificates at the start of the lease.

We also include 6 cleans of the common parts of the building and tenant contents insurance as part of the service.

There is no set up fee or management fee. The landlord agrees to let the property to Sulets, when Sulets has found suitable prospective occupiers. Instead of a set up and management fee the agent is entitled to keep the difference between the rent reserved by the lease and the rent payable by the occupiers.

The service is meant to be fully inclusive for property owners and provides you will peace of mind that you will always receive the rent irrespective of whether the tenants pay and the property will be cleaned, maintained and returned to you at the end of the lease.
