Notes For Tenants

Searching for a property can be time consuming and sometimes frustrating with such a quick turnover in the rental market. We appreciate this and believe that our approach to searching for a property eases this process and we can do the hard work for you.

Our website enables you to register onto our online mailing list to receive email updates, as and when new properties come onto the market that suit your requirements. The website is updated every day with new properties, so being registered ensures that you are one of the first to receive the latest property information and therefore one of the first to be able to arrange a viewing.

We have a permanent support specialist in the office, dedicated to matching tenants and properties. We will endeavour to contact you with details of anything that suits your requirements and arrange viewings to help you find the ideal property.

Once we have found you a property, you will be required to pay a holding deposit fee and administration fee in order to take the property off the market.

Our administration fees are very competitive and rates are as follows:

£200.00 including VAT for up to two people (£100.00 including VAT for each additional person)
£250.00 including VAT for a Company Let

Administration fees are inclusive of VAT. Please note that the holding deposit fee will only form part of your rental deposit once the tenancy agreement has been signed by both parties.

We can provide specialist tenant content insurance policies which not only protect your goods but can also protect your deposit. For instance if you were to damage the Landlords carpet, you can insure against such an incident so the Landlord would not have to make a deduction from your deposit. Please click on the Homelet logo for further information.

The tenancy is subject to reference, landlord approval and contract. The deposit is non refundable should the application be withdrawn by the prospective tenant. If the landlord declines an application, the holding fee is refundable. The administration fee is non refundable in all cases.

Before your day of 'move-in' we will require one months rent in advance and a deposit of one and a half months rent. Payment should be made by Bankers Draft or cash. Personal cheques can be accepted when presented at least seven working days before move-in day.

We will endeavour to ensure that the gas, electric and water companies are informed of your occupation. The tenant is responsible for informing the local council and the telephone company, as we are unable to instruct them. The tenant is also responsible for contacting the companies when departing the property at the end of the tenancy.

If you have any further questions or would like more detail about searching for or taking a property, please do not hesitate to call the office and speak to any of our staff who will be more than happy to help.
