Landlords
Jubb & Co have been in the property business since 1974, and have the same partners as when we started, with an additional family member partner joining in 2009. You may have seen our “For Sale” and “To Let” boards over the years, you may even have conducted business with us during this time.
We have always dealt with property management but initially on a relatively small scale. Several years ago we took the decision to withdraw from residential sales and commit our time and extensive experience to property management. This move has been a good one both for our landlords and our management team, and this secured Jubb & Co as one of the leading professional property management agents in Barnsley.
If you have a property already or are thinking about purchasing a residential property to rent out as a long term investment we are in an excellent position to assist you in making the right choice. Although we cannot give guarantees, having been in residential sales and property management for over 40 years we have a wide knowledge of Barnsley and the surrounding areas. We understand the rentability of properties in various areas and as we are no longer active in residential sales we have no conflict of interest.
We offer a complete management service and our aim is to handle your property in such a way that you can put it to the back of your mind with confidence that it is in good hands.
We ourselves have a large portfolio of properties and aim to give you the high standard of service that we would expect to receive.
A large amount of our business is derived from satisfied clients who have recommended us to family and friends. We also have landlords who have come to us because they were dissatisfied with their agent who were selling properties and conducting property management as a side line.

Unfortunately we are unable to work for free, and do make charges for our services. Our fees will depend on the amount of properties we manage for a landlord and also the type of properties they have. We find that some properties are quite easy to obtain tenants for and manage and others require an extensive amount of work. Therefore each property or portfolio of properties will be quoted on individually.
An example of our fees at present for a Landlord with one property would be:
- Initial set up fee - Nil
- Standard Management Fee - 12% inc VAT (10% ex VAT)
- Legionella Risk Assessment - £18 inc VAT (£15 ex VAT)
- Inspections - £18 inc VAT (£15 ex VAT)
- Online Advertisements - £90 inc VAT (£75 ex VAT)
- Signboards - £30 inc VAT (£25 ex VAT)
- Issuing Notice Seeking Possession - £100 inc VAT ((£83.33 ex VAT)
- Issuing Court Proceedings - £250 inc VAT (£208.33 ex VAT)
