Lettings management in W8
Lettings in Kensington skew corporate and international. We handle referencing, right-to-rent, company lets, diplomatic clauses and discreet off-portal marketing where a landlord does not want the property advertised.
Full management covers rent collection, arrears chasing, inspections, renewals and deposit adjudication — one inclusive percentage, no renewal fee.
Kensington and Chelsea compliance
RBKC runs additional HMO licensing and is strict on works to listed buildings and Article 4 properties. Basement works, window replacement and external decoration usually need consent before a contractor starts. We check the position before instructing, not after a stop notice.
Frequently asked questions
Do you manage property in W8?
Yes — flats, whole blocks and houses across W8, including Kensington Church Street, Campden Hill, Phillimore Estate and the Holland Park borders.
What does management cost in Kensington?
Let property is quoted as a single inclusive percentage of rent; block management is quoted per unit per year. Both come as a fixed written quote within one working day.
Do I need an HMO licence in W8?
Possibly. Kensington and Chelsea operates additional licensing beyond the mandatory scheme, so smaller shared houses can still need a licence. We check the property against the current scheme before letting.
Can you handle licence-to-alter applications?
Yes. Estate and freeholder consents on Kensington leases are handled as part of management, including liaison with the superior landlord's surveyor.
