Reserving the property

Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying a 'holding deposit' (aka 'reservation deposit'), usually equivalent to one weeks' 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 fully refunded. However the deposit will be Not Refundable if you decide not to proceed for any reason.

References

As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer (or college), a previous or current landlord. We may also require a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. We may use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references. Please, allow us up to 48 hrs to check your references. £20 Fee is charged by the Landlord / Property Management Company for the Reference Check.

Rents

Rents are normally quoted weekly or calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance. The tenant is usually responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs if not included in the rent. All rents are usually payable by bank standing order to your landlord's bank account.

Deposit

A security deposit of one month's rental will be required. This deposit will be treated in accordance with the Tenancy Deposit Protection regulations, and you will be informed of which protection scheme is utilized. The deposit 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

No Fees are charged when providing our services. A small fee of £50 might be charged by the landlord directly at the end of your tenancy to cover property cleaning costs. 

One Week Holding Deposit is Not Refundable if you change your mind to go ahead with your Tenancy!
