Room let prices

It is important that you do not price your room to high, we have found that this is the maximum (price) the market can bear for a property in Zone 3. There are exceptions for example where a house is very mod, well furnished, in Central London etc...

These are the typical prices that rooms are let out for in London

Important: the above prices are only a guideline of the prices, in our experience, that flatmates can afford and are willing to pay. They are by absolute and are only a rough guide.

A roomshare is where two or more individuals share a room and each pay a part of the room. Commonly they each sign a tenancy contract seperately and are only responsible for their share of the room's rent

Cost / Pricing

For room management we operate a flat fee charge determined by the room type. Fees are only charged when the room is occupied, no flatmate = no fee

Room Type	Flat fee
Roomshare (per person)	£25pw
Single room (Knight/Duke)	£25pw
Double room (Queen / King)	£25pw

Frequently Asked Questions

What if you don't like the person?

If contracts have already been exchanged both each partyt is contractually obliged to fullfill their side of the contract. If a mutual agreement cannot be arranged by the landlord (you) and the flatmate notice may have to be giving according to the tenancy contract.

If no contracts have been exchanged Kingdom Houses can, by your instruction, refuse the room and refund deposits if any have been paid.

What about theft/damages?

It is your responsibility to make sure that the property is properly secured with locks and that you can account for every person that has a key.

In our experience when someone sounds, looks or feels suspicious there definately is something is fishy.

Are there any other costs?

There is a small registration fee of £45.00 per room, discounts apply where mutliple rooms are in the same property.

Why is there a registration fee

The registration fee goes towards getting the room/property onto our books and out there into advertisements.
