Landlord Fees

Save with Rockett Home Rentals

We understand that as a landlord, you need to see and know that you are getting your money's worth when it comes to fees. Therefore we offer different levels of management services.

Each service includes many items that other high street agents add on as chargeable extras. Our fees are entirely transparent, and we do not agree with these "add ons" that mount up, inevitably spiraling out of control. For more information on our no hidden landlord fees, click here.

What's more, is we don't have the overheads of a high street shop, and we're not part of a franchise or chain so we can pass the savings onto you. As a result, our prices are very competitive.

Rent Guarantee

As part of our management service, all managed landlords of Rockett Home Rentals are required to be insured by our rent and legal policy, included in the annual administration fee. This covers non-payment of rent by the tenant and legal costs. Non-payment of rent is the single biggest risk facing today's landlords. References taken out on the tenants can only assess the risk of default at the start of a tenancy, but changes in circumstances can lead to difficulties in paying the rent. It is mandatory in our managed service that you are protected against a loss of rental income. Rockett Home Rentals Ltd will automatically arrange Rent & Legal Protection Cover for you through the appropriate insurance provider.
