Guide for Tenants
Finding a property
The first step is to contact us to provide brief details about yourself and about the
accommodation you require. We then search our database for suitable properties for
you to view. If not urgent, we log your details so that we can contact you as suitable
properties become available. It is wise to start looking about a month before you wish
to move, as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly. We regret that we
cannot assist dss claimants. Our tenancies are granted for a minimum term of 6
months.
Viewings
Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends, and
you will invariably be accompanied by a member of staff, who can give advice and
answer any questions you may have.
Reserving the property
Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying a 'holding
deposit', usually equivalent to one week's rent. Assuming that the tenancy goes ahead,
this will be deducted from the monies due before you move in. If the landlord declines
to grant the tenancy, it will be refunded. However the deposit will be forfeit if you
decide not to proceed for any reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate
information in your application.
References
As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer (or
college), and a previous or current landlord. We may also require a personal
reference, and sometimes a guarantor. In addition a credit check will be undertaken.
We may use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and
evaluate these references.
Rents
Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance. The
tenant is usually also responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and
Telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank
account.
Deposit
A security deposit of a minimum of one month's rental must be paid, and will be held
by ourselves as stakeholders in a secure client account throughout the tenancy term.
This is held to cover damage, breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of
your tenancy agreement. Please note that under no circumstances can the deposit be
used by the tenant to cover rent.
Fees
We charge £35 per applicant to cover administration and referencing costs.
