The Rental Process

Holding Deposit

• Once you have selected a property we may ask you to provide a holding deposit
• This payment is not an additional charge and is deducted from your completion payment (first months rent).
• The holding deposit holds the property pending reference and credit checks. Finally, we seek the landlord’s approval to your application.
• If you subsequently decide to pull out then you will forego the deposit.

Application & Referencing

• Referencing is through Experian and typical referees include your bank, employer, previous landlords and accountant.
• In the absence of suitable referencing a guarantor will usually be required.
• As a guide, your annual income needs to be 2.5 times the annual rent.

Tenancy Agreement

• At the commencement of the tenancy you will be required to sign a Tenancy Agreement outlining the obligation of the landlord and the tenant.
• An administration charge is made for this and subsequent extensions to the agreement. All Tenancy Agreements are "Assured Short hold Tenancies" under the provisions of the 1988 Housing Act (minimum 6 months).

Security Deposit

• Deposits (usually 6 weeks rent) are payable on all tenancies and are placed in the Deposit Protection Scheme, set up by the government to offer protection to tenants. This will be returned to you at the end of the tenancy provided the property is found to be in an acceptably clean and tidy condition.

Moving In

• One calendar months rent in advance (less holding deposit already paid)
• Security Deposit
• Referencing and Tenancy Agreement charge (includes inventory fee)
• Contents insurance (if applicable)
