These are borough averages, not an offer. The figure we pay for your Kingston upon Thames home is set after we have seen it, at or above what it would fetch on the open market, and it is fixed in writing for the term of the lease.
You keep the whole amount. There is no management fee, no letting fee, and no empty month taken out of it.
Do you need a licence to let a property in Kingston upon Thames?
For most landlords the answer is no. Licensing applies to shared homes, known as houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), rather than to a home let to one family.
What applies, and to whom
- A licence is needed where five or more people, forming two or more households, share facilities such as a kitchen or bathroom.
- Licensed HMOs must meet fire safety and amenity standards, and the Royal Borough inspects them during the licence period.
- A home let to one family is not an HMO. We house small families on a long-term basis, with VividSpaces named on the lease, so most homes we take on need no licence. We confirm the position with you before anything is signed.
