Cooke & Co Landlord Fees and Letting Services in Thanet

Cooke & Co offer a range of landlord services designed to suit different levels of involvement, from tenant introduction through to full property management. Our aim is to provide clear information on costs and service levels so landlords can make informed decisions.

We have been letting and managing property across Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs and the wider Thanet area since 1992. Our approach is based on straightforward advice, consistent administration and practical experience of the local rental market.

Clear and Transparent Fees

We believe landlord fees should be explained clearly. Charges will depend on the level of service required, the type of property and the level of ongoing involvement expected.

Rather than listing fixed figures that may not apply in every case, we provide a current fee list on request. This ensures landlords receive accurate and up to date information based on their specific property and requirements.

If you are considering instructing Cooke & Co, or if you are an existing landlord client, please contact us for the latest fee list and service information. We will be pleased to explain the options available and the level of support included.

Transparent Service Levels

When discussing our services with landlords, we aim to be clear about what is included in each level of instruction. This may cover matters such as marketing, accompanied viewings, tenancy progression, rent collection, property visits, maintenance coordination and general tenancy administration.

Service levels matter because not all landlords require the same support. Some prefer help with finding and setting up a tenancy, while others want a fully managed service with ongoing oversight. Our role is to explain the options clearly so landlords can choose the arrangement that best suits their needs.
