— Fees

Jones Davies fees.

What we charge depends on the property and the level of service. We will walk you through the terms of business, the services on offer, and the fees applicable before we start work. There are no surprises further down the line.

We are an independent agency. Our priority is the client’s interest, which means being approachable, flexible and upfront about anything you might be asked to pay. Letting fees below include VAT. Sales fees are quoted plus VAT.
