General infomation

Once you have found a suitable property, as agents we will require an application fee.  We will also take up reference on you before proceeding with the tenancy, which will include employer's reference, suitable character reference and previous landlord's reference if applicable, your income will need to be 2.5 times the annual rental income and your guarantors will need earn 3 times the annual rental.

Subject to all references being accepted as satisfactory, occupation of the property can start to take place subject to the signing of the tenancy agreement. 

Should you decide not to proceed with the tenancy, i.e. you have a change of mind or your references prove to be unsatisfactory for whatever reason and your landlord decides not to proceed, your application fee will not be refunded.

Signing the tenancy agreement, inventory and rental payments

You will be given the opportunity to read and understand the tenancy agreement before signing it.  This will take place  on or before the commencement date of the tenancy at a pre-arranged time.  On signing the tenancy agreement, we will require from you the first month's rental in advance plus a deposit equal to one months rent plus £200. 

This initial payment must be paid by; BUILDING SOCIETY CHEQUE, BANKERS DRAFT OR BY CASH, which have to be cleared funds. (Personal cheques will only be accepted 10 or more days prior to the commencement of the tenancy). 

The deposit taken will be held against possible breakage’s or damage caused by you during the tenancy and for any other breaches of your tenancy terms and conditions.

The deposit will only be returned to you, subject to everything being left in a satisfactory condition at the property at the end of the tenancy. 

We will arrange with you how to pay your future rent. This will be by standing order.

Whatever type of accommodation you are moving into, it is important that you see the inventory for the property by the day of occupation. It will become your responsibility to make sure it is accurate before signing and to note any alterations regarding discrepancies and omissions from it.

The inventory is a legal document and puts the responsibility on to you as the tenant to look after the items listed on it. It should list all the items of the property left by the Landlord for your use during the tenancy, such as furniture, furnishings and overall cleanliness and condition of the property when you moved in. 

A copy of the inventory will be provided for you to keep in a safe place. Should you damage, break or not clean the property when you move out at the end of the tenancy some or all of your deposit may not be returned. (Subject to mutual consent with the landlord)
