A well known Dublin firm wishes to charge;

Letting & Mgm service fees (monthly) fee of 9% with a cancellation fee of 3% when we do cancel (in 2nd year reverts to a yoy 6%)
Marketing fees EUR150

Seems like money for old rope?
 
I think it's close enough to the industry standard.

Don't forget VAT @ 23% on top of the fee.


A good letting agent is extremely valuable, if they source you reliable tenants and deal with the large number of tiny issues that come up.
 
I presume they charge you for getting a (new) tenant separately as well ? A few years ago I was paying 5% plus VAT for management and 5% plus VAT for getting a tenant for a year. If the tenant stayed they charged something like a €100 to get them to sign for another year. It's all tax deductible.

It's an open market out there so why not try it yourself so ?

The Let & Management fee normally includes finding the new tenant (let) and then the subsequent management (manage).

In Limerick I'm paying 8.5% + VAT for Let & Management for the duration of the tenancy. No other marketing costs. Other option was let only at 7% (payable for the first year only). At the time I got two other quotes (8% and 10%). When with this crowd as I had heard good references and liked what I heard/saw. They only focus on let/management and don't do sales like some places in Limerick do.
