Landlord and tenant fees
Every fee we charge, in plain English. No hidden extras. If something isn’t listed here, we don’t charge it.
EvoStar Property Ltd is not VAT registered, so no VAT is charged on these fees.

Commercial property
Commercial fees are quoted per site. Depending on the property, they can include a site management fee, a fee for managing the service charge, and a letting fee when we find you a tenant. We’ll give you a written quote before you commit.
Guaranteed rent
We offer guaranteed rent on a small number of properties that meet our criteria, mainly larger 6-9 bed HMOs and 4+ bed serviced accommodation in the right short-stay areas. Every property is assessed individually, and the terms are agreed in writing. If your property qualifies, there are no management fees: we pay you an agreed fixed rent instead.
Fees for tenants
Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, tenants can only be asked to pay the following. We do not charge tenants any other fees.
- Holding deposit: up to 1 week’s rent, to reserve a property.
- Tenancy deposit: up to 5 weeks’ rent where the annual rent is under £50,000 (up to 6 weeks’ rent where it is £50,000 or more). Protected with the Deposit Protection Service (DPS) or the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), depending on the property.
- Rent.
- Changes to your tenancy that you ask for: £50, or our reasonable costs if higher.
- Late rent: interest at 3% above the Bank of England base rate on rent more than 14 days late.
- Lost keys or security devices: the reasonable cost of replacement.
