Landlord and Tenant Reviews
Don't just take our word for it. See what landlords and tenants say about working with Gem Lettings.
"As a Landlord since 1998 I am so relieved that I have found Gem Lettings. Having used a large agency I was tiring of the inconsistent standards, rapid staff turnover resulting in new and sometimes indifferent property managers who never get to grips with your property and the high fees (double those of Gem). Gemma found me a professional tenant immediately and went above and beyond the call of duty."

Property Management Company FAQs
A property management company looks after a rental on the landlord's behalf. With our Full Management service, you get a dedicated in-house property manager, compliance management, inspections, check in and check out of tenants, and 24/7 emergency repairs.
Full Management is 8% + VAT per month plus a one off £360 for finding a tenant. Tenant Find and Rent Collection is 6.5% + VAT per month with the same £360 fee, and Tenant Find alone is 6% + VAT of 12 months gross rent. Contact us for a free valuation.
Yes. GOV.UK's guide to the Renters' Rights Act says landlords who use a managing agent will still need to join the new landlord ombudsman once it launches. Landlords must also register each rental on the new Private Rented Sector Database, and our RRA database guide covers what to prepare.
An online letting agent works mainly online without a local office. Gem Lettings is an independent agency with an office at 17 Holywell Hill, St Albans, AL1 1DT, where you deal directly with experienced team members, never a call centre. Start with a free valuation or a message, and read our tenant information for how renting works.
It depends on your time and how well you know the lettings rules. If you prefer to stay hands-on, Tenant Find sources and references the tenant for 6% + VAT of 12 months gross rent. If you want ongoing support, Full Management adds a dedicated in-house property manager and 24/7 emergency repairs.
