Our Terms & Fees


Here's What We Will Do, Moving Forward:
Ask us to let and manage your property, and we'll ask you to choose your service fee option - FAIR?

And because we are landlords too, we understand the rental market and therefore the subtle elements that sometimes get overlooked.
At SJLTD, every landlord client is treated as an individual whose asset investment must be protected.

We're qualified professionals. Hence our clients are re-assured of our commitment to professionalism, attention to detail and reliability of service. In other words, we are passionate about our business.
So, if your preference is for introduction of suitably qualified and vetted tenant only service or maybe you're only interested in lettings with full property management, we have you all covered.

If you are an overseas landlord, it makes sense to unburden yourself with day-to-day management issues. Especially with the ever changing regulations to keep track of. Rest assured, we are here to look after your interest.
Again, speak to us and let's talk through your options.

Our clients expect nothing short of professional competence. That's what we deliver.

Fees: Choice Of Service Options Explained:
