What full management means here.

You hand me the keys. From then on the property is my problem, not yours. Here's the list, in the order it happens.

  • Advertised. Photos, advert, listed everywhere it needs to be.
  • Tenant found. I find them, I don't wait for them.
  • Vetted and referenced. Properly, every time, no exceptions.
  • Viewings done. By me, not you, at times that suit tenants.
  • Moved in with an inventory. Photographed, signed, filed.
  • Repairs handled. My tradespeople, my calls, your approval on anything that exceeds £200 or the choice to do the work yourself.
  • Inspected. Regularly, written up, sent to you.
  • Rent chased. The day it's late, not the week.
  • Moved out. Checked against the inventory, deposit sorted.

If it doesn't let in the time I expect, I look at the marketing every day until it does, and you pay nothing until it lets.

All of my landlords come from recommendations. Ask them why.

What it costs.

Two fees for full management, and nothing until the property lets. No VAT is added to any of them.

10%

Management fee

Ten per cent of the rent collected, taken from each month's rent before it is paid to you. Per property.

£350

Completion fee

Per new tenancy, taken from the first month's rent. Covers the tenancy agreement and all legal paperwork, the inventory, tenant referencing and the move-in.

£85

Gas safety check

Annual gas safety certificate by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Per property, per year, when you ask me to arrange it.

£85

Energy Performance Certificate

EPC by an accredited assessor, valid for ten years. Per property, when you ask me to arrange it.

Repairs and other work are charged at the tradesperson's cost. AW Estate Agents Ltd is not VAT registered, so the figures above are the figures you pay.

Fees for tenants

Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019 I can only ask a tenant for the following. Everything else is free.

Who's behind it.

I'm Andrea Cooper. I've been managing property for thirty years, and Andrea Lets has run out of Barnsley since 2003. Today I look after 280 properties across Barnsley, Sheffield and Doncaster, and I own twenty-six of my own, so I know what a void costs and what a bad tenant costs, because I've paid for both.

In 2026 I was a candidate on The Apprentice on BBC One and Andrea Lets took the Gold Award for Lettings from the Best Estate Agent Guide. Neither changed how I work. If a tenant rings at nine at night with no heating, they get an answer at nine at night. That's the whole business.

Renting from Andrea Lets.

A letting agent who answers. That's rarer than it should be.

Looking for a home

What's available changes daily. Tell me what you need, where, and when, and I'll tell you what I've got or what's coming.

Something needs fixing

Report it on your online repairs portal, open twenty-four hours, with photos. Your own link is in the property file you got when you signed up. Some problems get solved on the spot with the portal's own fixes. The rest get logged, a tradesperson gets booked, and you get told when. A real emergency out of hours? Ring.

Your deposit and your paperwork

Protected, receipted, and handed back against the inventory you signed. No surprises at the end.

What landlords and tenants say

From the Andrea Lets page on Facebook. First names and initials only.

"Can't recommend Andrea enough. Been using Andrea Lets for over 7 years and she's always been attentive, knowledgeable and so reassuring. There have been times I've needed Andrea's cool and collected approach and she's been there to give advice and support."

Andrew W, seven years with Andrea Lets

"I've dealt with Andrea at Andrea Lets for a number of years. I can genuinely say if you're looking for an honest and helpful letting agent, give Andrea a call. Fantastic service."

Steve B

"Whenever I've had a question or needed something sorted, she responds quickly, offers practical help, and goes out of her way to make sure everything is taken care of properly. It's rare to find a landlord who is so attentive, reliable and genuinely cares about her tenants."

Tyler W, tenant

"From day one of viewing the property Andrea has been nothing but professional, the house was spotless, any work that has needed to be done she has gone above and beyond to get the jobs done, and within immediate effect of reporting a problem it has been sorted."

Jack V, tenant

"I have lived in a property that Andrea manages for 7 years and in the last 7 years she has been amazing, nothing has ever been too much trouble at all. If I ever had an issue it was sorted ASAP."

Maddy C, tenant

"Can't thank her enough, she helped me and my partner move into our first home. She does every maintenance check that we've asked about. She is also very understanding with every concern we have."

Lily B, tenant

Selling a house? Sell it to Andrea.

No estate agent, no fees, no viewings by strangers. I buy houses in Barnsley and the surrounding area direct from the owner, and I'm happy to buy with a tenant already living there.

  • Tenanted or empty. A sitting tenant isn't a problem. I manage 280 of them.
  • Any condition. Needs work, needs clearing, needs nothing. Tell me honestly.
  • A straight answer. I'll look, ring you, and tell you what I'd pay and when I could complete.
  • No agent's fee. You deal with me, not a chain of people.

Not a sales agent. If your house isn't one I'd buy, I'll say so and point you the right way.
