Introduction

Letting agent fees have been a burden on UK renters and landlords for years. Even after reforms, hidden costs, renewal charges, and management fees continue to push up rental prices.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to pay them.

At Homesty, we’ve created a full guide to show you exactly how you can rent without letting agent fees — safely, affordably, and with more transparency.

Why This Matters

  • Tenants: Cut move-in costs and keep rent fair.

  • Landlords: Save thousands in annual agent charges.

  • Everyone: Rent more directly, with less stress and more trust.

Traditional agents often charge 10–15% of rent in fees — adding up to thousands of pounds per year. Our guide shows how to avoid these costs while protecting both landlords and tenants.

  • The truth about letting agent fees and what they include
