Thomas Michael is an independent, owner-managed estate and letting agency established in 2011 and based close to St Paul&#39;s and West Smithfield in the City of London. We cover the Barbican Estate, City of London and Farringdon; broadly the EC2, EC1, EC3 and EC4 post codes. We provide a professional and bespoke service to all of our clients and value the relationships we build with our clients be they sellers or landlords. These are relationships with a foundation in provision of a first-class personal service and the best possible advice given at all times. Client service is at the very heart of our day to day work. Much of our new business comes from word of mouth recommendations from neighbour to neighbour and our client landlords come back to us year after year – in an area saturated with large corporate agencies. For a thoroughly professional and personal approach to selling or letting your Barbican or City property please get in touch.

Administration fee - a fee of £150 (£125 &#43; VAT) is payable by a prospective tenant to Thomas Michael once an application has been made for a property and the landlord has decided to proceed with referencing checks.  £90 (£75 &#43; VAT) is payable for each additional tenant (or guarantor), so the total administration fee for two tenants would be £240, and for three tenants £330.  This fee covers the referencing checks undertaken and associated work by Thomas Michael. Tenancy agreement fee - A fee of £120 (£100 &#43; VAT) is payable for the production and signing of a tenancy agreement by a single tenant. For two tenants the fee is £150 (£125 &#43; VAT).  For three or more tenants the fee is £180 (£150 &#43; VAT). Changing tenants - it is your obligation to obtain written consent from the landlord for any change in the identity of the tenants. Upon instruction from a landlord and receipt of this consent Thomas Michael will prepare a Deed of Assignment, or in some cases a new tenancy agreement, and organise the signing by all parties. A fee of £240 (£200 &#43; VAT) is payable for this service for a tenancy agreement signed by up to two tenants.  For three or more tenants the fee is £300 (£250 &#43; VAT). Company lets and use of relocation agents - where the application is for a company let or where the applicant is using a relocation agent the above fees (administration fee and tenancy signing fee) do not apply. In these instances, we charge a flat fee of £600 (£500 &#43; VAT) which covers the referencing administration, all of the work associated with the drawing up and signing of the tenancy agreement and all other administration and liaising which is typical of such applications.  Check-in/Check-out fees - a tenant may have to pay a check-in or check-out fee. These vary depending on the amount of rooms or furnishing but usually range from £80 to £150.  Further information can be provided by Thomas Michael. Renewals - if the tenancy is renewed on a fixed basis, rather than the tenancy going onto a periodic tenancy, then we will make a charge of £120 (£100 &#43; VAT) to cover our administration where there are up to two tenants. We will charge £150 (£125 &#43; VAT) for more than two.

 Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 16, 2021

 Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

 Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s 
 Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s 
 Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

 The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: <a href="https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2">https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2</a>

 Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 21, 2021

 Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

 Clear: No bars, no signal predicted 
 Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely 
 Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity 
 Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services 
 Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
