We have laid out our fee structure at Lextons clearly and in a straightforward manner to show how simply Landlords are able to spread the cost of our commission over the duration of the tenancy.
We have a vested interest in finding the right tenant, in that our commission is deducted from the rent to enable our Landlords to start receiving an income for their property as soon as the tenant has moved in.
As part of our company’s policies, we aim to go above and beyond the protection measures required by Law. We achieve this by being members of The Property Ombudsman and adhering to their Codes of Practice.
