Our Fees
At TMS Estate Agents, we always have your best interests at heart. We strive to bring you competitive prices at all times as part of our superior property services.
Holiday Letting Fees
The marketing fee is 20% of the gross booking. To arrange the cleaning and laundry and also deal with any maintenance issues, we charge a further 10%. If you require TMS Estate Agents to provide a 24-hour emergency service, our fees will increase by a further 5% to 35%. All fees are exclusive of VAT which will be added at the prevailing rate.
Relevant Letting Fees and Tenant Protection Information
In addition to paying rent for the property, you may also be required to make the following permitted payments:
Before the tenancy starts:

If the landlord withdraws this deposit is refundable. The tenant(s) will forfeit this deposit if they withdraw from the application or if the application is unsuccessful due to providing false or misleading information.)
