Letting agents in St Albans.

Changing agent doesn’t end your tenancy, so your tenant can stay put while the management moves.
Letting your St Albans home
At £1,934 a month, the average St Albans rent is well above the East of England average of £1,298, and it rose 2.7% over the year to September 2026. Higher rents raise the stakes on every part of a let: a wrong valuation, a missed certificate or a weak reference all cost more here.
Our free rental valuations start from live local lettings data and your particular home, so you get an honest figure rather than a flattering one.
Two ways we can let your home
Fully Managed is 10% + VAT of the monthly rent (12% inc. VAT). We find the tenant and look after everything afterwards, including rent collection, inspections, repairs and the deposit.
Let Only is 6% + VAT of the annual rent (7.2% inc. VAT). We find and reference the tenant and get the agreement signed, and then you take over. Compare the two services, or see every fee.

Letting rules in St Albans
St Albans City and District Council says it operates only mandatory HMO licensing, which applies to buildings occupied by five or more people. National rules changed too: since 1 May 2026, tenancies in England run month to month. Our landlord FAQs explain what that means for you.
Questions St Albans landlords ask us
Do you cover all of St Albans?
Yes. We cover all AL postcodes, including AL1, AL3 and AL4 in the city, and the towns and villages around the city.
Do you sell homes as well?
No. We specialise in lettings only.
What could my home rent for?
It depends on its size, condition and exact location. Ask us for a free valuation and we’ll give you a figure for your own home, with no obligation.
Can you take over from my current agent?
Yes. A management takeover is £250 + VAT (£300 inc. VAT), charged when the new tenancy agreement is signed. It also applies if the same tenant stays and no new tenancy agreement is signed. Here’s how switching works.
I’m looking for a home to rent. Can you help?
Yes. See our houses and flats to rent in St Albans.
