Letting an exceptional property requires more than simply bringing it to market. It demands informed advice, thoughtful presentation, access to the right audience and an agent wholly committed to achieving the strongest possible result.
Jean Oddy & Co combines an intimate, street-by-street knowledge of the areas in which we operate with a highly personalised and proactive approach. We understand the subtle differences that influence value and demand—from the character of an individual building to the qualities of a particular road—and use this insight to position each property with precision.
We go above and beyond to secure the best possible rent and the highest calibre of tenant for every property entrusted to us. Our advice is considered and commercially focused, encompassing pricing, presentation, timing and marketing strategy. Throughout the process, we remain closely involved, responding swiftly to interest, conducting viewings with care and negotiating tenaciously on our clients’ behalf.
Finding a tenant is only part of our responsibility. We focus equally on suitability, carefully considering each applicant’s circumstances and ensuring that our landlords can proceed with confidence.
Over many years, we have developed an extensive network of private clients, relocation contacts, professional advisers and trusted property connections. These relationships provide access to prospective tenants who may not be actively searching through the conventional property portals.
Where discretion is particularly important, we can offer a tailored off-market service, introducing a property privately to carefully selected applicants within our network. This approach can produce exceptional results while protecting the privacy of both the property and its owner.
Our service is founded on relationships rather than transactions. We take the time to understand each landlord’s property, priorities and long-term objectives, providing honest advice and remaining personally accountable throughout.
Many of our client relationships extend across multiple tenancies and many years. We value these long-term partnerships and work continuously to protect our clients’ interests, maximise the performance of their properties and deliver the attentive, dependable service they expect.
Whether you are letting a single residence or managing a wider property portfolio, Jean Oddy & Co offers the insight, discretion and personal commitment required to achieve an outstanding result.
Our standard letting fee is 12% including VAT of the gross annual rent, equivalent to 10% plus VAT.
Finding the right home should be an enjoyable and straightforward experience. Whether you already live in London or are relocating from overseas, Jean Oddy & Co will take the time to understand your requirements, priorities and preferred way of life before introducing you to the most suitable properties.
Our team offers clear, considered advice and attentive guidance throughout your search. From arranging viewings and presenting an offer to coordinating references and preparing for your move, every stage is handled with discretion, efficiency and care.
Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, landlords and letting agents may only require certain permitted payments in connection with qualifying tenancies. Full details can be found in the Government’s Tenant Fees Act guidance.
A refundable holding deposit, capped at one week’s rent, may be required to reserve a property while references and tenancy documentation are completed. Subject to the applicable terms and the tenant’s agreement, this may subsequently be applied towards the first rent payment or tenancy deposit.
For tenancies covered by the Tenant Fees Act, the refundable tenancy deposit is capped at five weeks’ rent where the annual rent is below £50,000, or six weeks’ rent where the annual rent is £50,000 or above.
Tenants remain responsible for the rent and any other payments permitted by law and detailed within their tenancy agreement. Different arrangements may apply to tenancies outside the scope of the Tenant Fees Act, including properties with an annual rent exceeding £100,000. All applicable payments will be explained clearly before a tenancy is entered into.
Jean Oddy & Co is committed to the highest standards of professionalism, transparency and client care. We are members of Propertymark, Propertymark Client Money Protection, Safeagent and The Property Ombudsman. Qualifying tenancy deposits are registered and protected through mydeposits.
Copies of our membership and protection certificates are available upon request.
The following fees apply only where a tenancy falls outside the scope of the Tenant Fees Act 2019, including certain tenancies where the annual rent exceeds £100,000.
Tenancy Agreement Fee — £600 including VAT (£500 plus VAT)
This covers the preparation of the tenancy agreement, any associated negotiations, and the administration required through to signing and completion.
Referencing Fee — £120 including VAT per applicant (£100 plus VAT)
This may include identity and right-to-rent checks, immigration or visa verification, financial and credit checks, and obtaining references from current or previous employers and landlords. It may also include any other relevant enquiries required to assess an applicant’s suitability and affordability.
For further information, please refer to the Government’s guidance on the Tenant Fees Act 2019.
