Management Costs and Payment
NPG will charge 10% of rental income. Rent is paid by the client 2 months in arrears. There are no other charges for setting up the tenancy, inspections or tenant find.
1. Provide NPG with details of your property which must currently be vacant, or becoming free within the next 30 days
2. They’ll confirm whether the property is suitable following initial internal checks within 5 working days
3. If acceptable, they’ll arrange for an inspection with you and our service partner to confirm the current condition and any works required to be carried out by you prior to letting
4. Once approved, they’ll set up the tenancy
