Unauthorised Contractors
If you call out any UNAUTHORISED contractor, it should be noted that this will be at your expense, other than in an emergency when all measures to safeguard a property must be taken. Likewise if you call out a contractor and the emergency is as a direct result of your actions then you will be liable for the costs/invoice.
Tenant Fees
Emergency / Out of hours call-out fees: Where the actions of the tenant result in the agent (or their nominated contractor) attending the property outside of normal office hours, the agent’s time to remedy the situation is charged at £75, plus any actual costs incurred (such as contractor invoices).
Call out: A call out charge of £40 will incur if we are called to open a bedroom door, front door or back door, to unblock a sink, bath or toilet or any call out which is considered unnecessary plus any actual costs incurred (such as contractor invoices).
Lost Keys or other security devices: Tenants are liable for the actual cost of replacing any lost key(s) or other security device(s), plus the agent’s costs in obtaining any necessary permissions, sourcing providers and travel costs which will be charged at £30. If the loss results in locks needing to be changed, the actual costs of a locksmith, new lock and replacement keys for the tenant, landlord and any other persons requiring keys will also be charged to the tenant.
