For further details or to arrange a viewing, simply select ‘Arrange Viewing’ on your chosen property.
Please note that all prospective tenants will be subject to referencing checks. We require a security deposit equivalent to five weeks’ rent, along with one month’s rent payable in advance. If you are unsure of your circumstances or have specific requirements, our team will be happy to offer guidance.
Your Offer
Once you have found your new home, you will be asked to complete a tenancy application form. This will be reviewed, subject to you meeting our referencing criteria.
At this stage, a reservation holding fee will be required to secure the property. Please note, if the Tenancy Agreement is not signed within 7–14 working days of your application (unless a later move-in date has been agreed), the landlord reserves the right to re-market the property.
In such circumstances, or if referencing is unsuccessful due to inaccurate or incomplete information provided, the reservation holding fee will be non-refundable.
Agreeing The Let
As soon as your offer has been accepted by the landlord, we will apply for references and draw up the relevant documentation Which will form the basis of the agreement between you and the landlord.
If you are a UK or Irish citizen, then you will need to provide a photocopy of your passport, If you do not have a passport then there are other ways to confirm your right to rent so, please contact us to discuss this further.
If you are not one of the above citizens, then you will need to provide a photocopy of your passport for us to retain for the duration of the tenancy, together with a 9 digit share code which can be attained by gov.uk.
References
We will contact your employer and your landlord (if you are in rented accommodation) Your previous employer may also be contacted if you have recently changed jobs and if you are self employed then we would need to speak with your accountant. A credit check will also be carried out.
Tenancy Agreement
Following confirmation of your ‘right to rent’ checks and passing of the referencing, we will then be in contact to confirm the tenancy start date. This will be followed by an email from DocuSign with your tenancy contract and checklist for you to sign.
Rent and Deposit
You will be required to pay the first month’s rent and the tenancy deposit at the time of signing the agreement. This will typically be equivalent to one month’s rent plus a deposit equal to five weeks’ rent.
